Will you PLEASE stop butchering our otherwise beautiful language? You're so clearly a drooling beginner. Act like one, then. Don't try to say things way beyond your ability! This ain't no "Pweez cowwect my Japanese" thread.

Unfortunately, I have no personal experience using open bars so I can't say for sure if that happens. I imagine it's done sometimes depending on individual hotel rules.

I found a good picture of a drink bar. This is much similar to one where I go.
Looks like a very interesting place to have a refreshing beverage

I don’t see why “it was confusing”. Does “it” mean your revision above?
The sentence / sentences you made for that section of your post was / were very confusing because you didn't have a concept on our culture and vocabulary we use for speaking about animal graves and our yards. We usually just call them frontyard, backyard, or lawn. We usually never sasy just "yard."

I didn’t know saying "They would be buried in the yard" sounds hardhearted. Thank you.
How about “They (=people) have graves of the cats in a backyard”, not “The cats have graves in a backyard”?

Sorry, but I don’t understand this Japanese sentence.

Drink bars are rare in Adelaide, but they do exist. I'm not sure what they are called though.
Really!? I want to know the name of English. What would you call it?

Hi.
Could you correct my English?

"Yomise"

I went to yomise last night. The name of yomise literary means a shop opened at night. “Yo” is from “yoru” which means night. “Mise” usually means shop, but in this case it is “yatai” which is a small, mobile food stall.
At yatai, they sell yakisoba, takoyaki, ikayaki, baked apples, mizuame, beer, soft drinks and many other things. Wikipedia in English only mentions about yatai in Fukuoka-prefecture, but it exist everywhere in Japan.
However, when we say yomise, we mean a night festival with many yomise. It’s a signature summer event.
It was on a station road near my house last night. I wasn’t able to buy anything because there were too long lines of people in front of every yatai.

Thank you.

I went to a yomise last night. The name of yomise literally means "a shop opened at night". “Yo” is the short form of “yoru” which means night. “Mise” usually means shop, but in this case it is “yatai”, or a small, mobile food stall.

Sounds like a very delicious place to be on a warm summer night, Yuri. Too bad about the lineups, though. Maybe next year you'll find yourself in front of a yatai ordered whatever you want

"Exist" should be "exists". "I wasn’t able to buy anything because there were too long lines of people in front of every yatai" should be "I wasn't able to buy anything because the lines of people in front of every yatai were too long".

Hi, Nagareboshi.
Yes, you are right. It should be exists, and the lines were too long.
I should have written the sentences carefully.
Thank you.
