In the 'old days', most western sites had outhouses. Eastern towns were more 'developed', but it was still the communal '2 or 3 seater' outhouse in most towns! Outhouses have an overwhelming odor in the summers. Plus, flies congregated at and inside outhouses. Winters there was less odor, but sitting on cold wood was not pleasant. So if men urinated around the bar, it was likely a more pleasant 'going' that going to the outhouse. However, I doubt bar owners would have been too happy with the odor, so I doubt this story is true in most taverns or saloons (bars). Plus, most taverns were also inns-- lodging along the stage coach route, which means passengers included women and children. So public urination wouldn't have been tolerated most places.
