The phrase denotes a list of food and beverage offerings available at a particular drinking establishment. This list typically details the items, their prices, and may include descriptions to aid customer selection. As an example, a patron might consult the presented list to decide between ordering a burger or a steak, alongside a selection of alcoholic or non-alcoholic drinks.
The availability of such a list is crucial for informed consumer choice and operational efficiency. Patrons gain the ability to plan their expenditure and dietary intake, while the establishment can streamline order processing and manage inventory more effectively. Historically, these lists evolved from simple chalkboard displays to elaborate printed documents, and are now increasingly presented in digital formats.
