バー is a loanword typically evoking a Western-style bar with cocktails, whereas 飲み屋 is the native, more casual and local term.
飲み屋 is a place (a bar or pub), while 飲み会 is the event or gathering itself, not the location.
飲み屋 is counted with 軒 because it is treated as a small standalone building or shop.

Variant kanji for 飲む; sometimes used for stylistic effect but less common.

Kana-mixed spelling; used when the kanji 飲 is avoided or for readability.
