It's so much better than great bar music! Unless you mean, like, music you don't mind when it comes on in a bar, in which case, sure. But, for example, this song is a beaut:

“tunnel of love” is awesome.. lyrics aside it always sounded really... dangerous to me, like some violence is about to pop off idk

wtf is that video for Tunnel of Love

and the first three Dire Straits albums are bar ambient if there ever was, Knopfler soloing on a Strat is what beer tastes like

Heh, tell that to Eric "Michelob" Clapton, who basically personified "cheap beer in the '80s." Knopfler soloing is the sound of you getting home, thinking about what you did or didn't do.

And "Romeo and Juliet" is neither bar nor ambient.

bar ambient is equally good if you ignore it or focus drunkenly on it in an attempt to remain upright

The fuck is bar ambient tho

That Tunnel of Love clip might be the most Yawnsomely Literal music video I've ever seen.

love over gold is basically an ambient album
