I seem to remember that the term "bar" dates back a few centuries when law students in England met in them near their university. Sorry if my recollection of this topic is a bit hazy.

That's where they first came up with the idea. That's back in the
days when the legal profession had ideas, or was that ideals,
actually doesn't matter they have neither.

A bar is where they do their best work and spend most of their time.
