A spiral galaxy CAN be called a spiral barred galaxy if it has a central bar. About 50% of all spiral galaxies have a central bar.

It's nothing more than a central core than resembles a bar - or peanut in earlier texts that differentiate it from "normal" spiral galaxies that have a circular or oval centre.

See related links for pictorial of the difference.
