What is the .bar domain?
.bar is an open generic top-level domain managed by Punto 2012 Sociedad Anónima Promotora de Inversión de Capital Variable, a registry company based in Mexico City. IANA delegated it on 27 February 2014, and unlike most hospitality extensions it is not part of the large Identity Digital portfolio; Tucows is listed as its technical contact.
| Entry | Value |
|---|---|
| Category | Generic top-level domain, open to all |
| Registry manager | Punto 2012 S.A.P.I. de C.V., Ciudad de México |
| Technical contact | Tucows.com, Co., Toronto |
| Delegated | 27 February 2014 |
| WHOIS | whois.nic.bar |
| DNSSEC | Secure delegation |
The word is spelled the same in English, Spanish and many other languages, so it reads clearly to a visitor in Goa or in Guadalajara.
Who in India uses a .bar address?
Licensed bars, brewpubs and cocktail lounges are the obvious users, but “bar” also covers juice bars, salad bars, nail and brow bars, chocolate or protein-bar brands, and even the legal bar. Any business whose product or counter is called a bar gets a two-word address that explains itself.
| Business | Example | What the site holds |
|---|---|---|
| Cocktail lounge or brewpub | terrace.bar | Events, table booking, food menu |
| Juice and smoothie counter | freshpress.bar | Outlet list, delivery links |
| Nail or brow studio | polish.bar | Service list and appointments |
| Chocolate or protein-bar brand | cocoa.bar | Product range and online shop |
| Bartending academy | mixology.bar | Course batches and fees |

Is a liquor licence needed to register .bar?
No. The registry checks no liquor licence, food licence or Indian address; any individual or company can register an available .bar name. Indian law applies to the content instead. Alcohol advertising is restricted in India and excise rules differ by state, so a bar’s website should present menus, events and bookings in line with its state licence.
- Age notice: many outlets add a legal-drinking-age statement on pages that mention alcohol.
- Lawyers: advocates using .bar should keep the site within Bar Council of India rules on solicitation.
- Ownership: register to the operating company so the name stays with the outlet if a manager leaves.
.bar, .pub or .menu — which suits your outlet?
.bar fits a cocktail- or drinks-led venue and any “bar” product brand; .pub suits a brewpub or gastropub identity at about half the renewal cost; .menu works best for a food-first restaurant. For a group with several outlets, .restaurant or a plain .in brand site with outlet pages often scales better. The extension does not decide rankings; local reviews and accurate listings matter far more for a venue.
Setting up the .bar website
Point the .bar domain at a host, publish menus and booking details, and connect it to your Google Business Profile. The restaurant website design guide covers menu pages and table booking, shared hosting fits a single outlet, and every extension WebJi® sells is listed under domain registration India.
Frequently asked questions
Who owns the .bar registry?
Punto 2012 S.A.P.I. de C.V., headquartered in Mexico City, is the IANA-listed manager of .bar. Tucows.com, Co. of Toronto is the technical contact, and the registry’s public site is nic.bar.
When did .bar launch?
IANA delegated .bar to Punto 2012 on 27 February 2014 under ICANN’s new gTLD programme, after the delegation report of 25 February 2014. IANA records no change of manager since then.
Can a law chamber use a .bar domain?
Technically yes, the registry imposes no profession rule. In India, though, advocates face Bar Council restrictions on advertising, so the site should stay factual: name, enrolment, practice areas and contact details, without promotional claims.
Why does .bar renew at ₹8,262 rather than ₹6,899?
The registry’s renewal fee is higher than its first-year rate, and WebJi® passes both through unchanged. Plan for ₹8,262 plus GST in every year after the first.
