A cantina is a type of bar that is common in Latin America and Spain. The word "cantina" is derived from the Italian word for a cellar, winery, or vault, and is similar in etymology to "canteen". In Italy, the word "cantina" refers to a room below the ground level where wine and other products such as salami are stored. In Spain, a cantina is a bar located in a train station or any establishment located at or near a workplace where food and drinks are served. In rural Mexico, a cantina is traditionally a kind of bar frequented by males for drinking alcohol and eating botanas (appetizers). Some cantinas are also known for being places where people gather to play dominoes, cards, or other table games. In the United States, a cantina is simply a tavern with a Southwestern or Mexican motif that serves traditional alcoholic Mexican drinks.
