A '''go-go bar''' is a type of business establishment where [[alcoholic drink]] is sold and dancers provide entertainment. The term ''go-go bar'' originally referred  to a nightclub, bar, or similar establishment that featured [[go-go dancer]]s; while some go-go bars in that original sense still exist, the link between its present uses and that original meaning is often more tenuous and regional. Speaking broadly, the term has been used by venues that cover a wide range of businesses, from [[nightclub]]s or [[discotheque]]s, where dancers are essentially there to set the [[Mood (psychology)|mood]], to what are in essence [[burlesque]] theaters or [[strip club]]s, where dancers are part of a show and the primary focus.
