Coffeehouse [r]: An establishment known for primarily serving coffee (as opposed, for example, to a bar or saloon serving alcoholic drinks or a restaurant serving meals). In the past several centuries, coffeehouses in Paris, Vienna, London, Budapest, Ankara, and numerous other cities have been known as locales for social interaction and civil and political discourse, associated with philosophical and temperance movements and political opposition, and for a wide variety of other reasons.
