Cantina/Legends

A cantina was a place where spacers, smugglers, and other denizens of the nearby area came to drink and play Pazaak or Sabacc.

They were located on almost every major planet and were often also a center of criminal activity such as smuggling and spice trading. Cantinas were typically located on smuggler-affiliated planets, such as Atzerri, Abregado-Rae, Tatooine or Nal Hutta.

Atmosphere
In some cantinas, female Twi'lek slaves were brought in order to dance on stages. Bith musicians playing Jizz music were also popular entertainment. The main attractions, however, were the beverages and the opportunity to meet friends or business associates (illicit or otherwise.)

One of the most infamous cantinas was located in Mos Eisley on Tatooine.

Some cantinas, such as the Jekk'Jekk Tarr on Nar Shaddaa, were designed only for aliens to inhabit, because the air consisted of fumes that were similar to the ones on their homeworlds. These fumes were, however, poisonous to Humans.

During and after the Mandalorian Wars, the cantina known as the Kedorzhan Bar on Taris was ran entirely by droids.

Many pilots visiting Coruscant at the time of the Sith-Imperial War could be found at Rik's Cantina.

Behind the scenes
Many cantinas visited in the KOTOR games seem to have been based on the layout of Chalmun's Cantina, as seen in the first film. This suggests that the layout was almost common across the Galaxy, even for 4000 years.

"Cantina" means "Bar" in Spanish and the word is invariably used throughout the Star Wars saga instead of 'bar', 'tavern', 'club' or more common words.
