"how to know you're in the right bar"....As I have not been in one since I have been married, that is not an easy answer today. However, one clue may be on the "right bar" part could be, everyone has clothing on! Another clue, not everyone is the same "gender". Lastly one to think of, they accept US Currency!
As to the actually "drinking" part of good bars. If you notice some bars or nightclubs have the machines that are linked some how to your bill, the automated lines for making drinks, everything goes from a "tube line" from a container of "booze" and container or "mix" right into the glass, the bar tender simple hits some buttons on his little hand held gizmo and shoots it into your glass. Stop to think of what may have just gone through the head of that gizmo from the last drink he made? I would tend to think a good bar would have a bartender that you do not have to explain what goes into a drink. He or she should know the difference between a Manhattan and a Singapore Sling, without explaining which of those two drinks should really have a small touch of white powdered sugar added before being mixed. My Husband having been in the US Navy, has given me a great deal of information of what drinks and bars do around the world. He would joke and say if a bar was a one fly bar, that was one fly too many.

The whole place is decorated in bamboo and Pacificana, there are flaming mai-tais on the drink menu and strands of Arthur Lyman and Martin Denny drifting on the wind.

When it's got a "Hemmingway Bar" sign behind the bar with all of two Ms... And it's actually the Masindi bar where Hemingway nursed himself back to tottering health after a plane crash in Murchison Falls, in Uganda.
