Your favorite bar snack?
I like to sit at the bar. I like to drink beer. I'm especially pleased when the bartender puts a bowl of something in front of me to nibble on. Of course if he doesn't, I'm inclined to look at the appetizer menu.
my favorite freebie: beer nuts
my favorite appetizer: wings, I guess, but if there's an asian nibble like potstickers or eggrolls, I'll go that way.

Make sure the bartender gives you a fresh pour from the bag of nuts.
Restaurant surveys show that 50% of men and woman do not wash their hands after using the bathroom. The survey suggests that it's not clean to eat any open food at a bar (or anywhere for that matter ie. trade shows).

My *least* favorite free bar snack is the mix put out at Admirals Club lounges ... all the picking I have to do (of the sample on my napkin, not the big bowl, of course) to get past all the tooth-breakingly dry pretzels.
Favorite bar snack: mustard-flavored Gardetto's. Especially nice with a gin and tonic, not that I'd necessarily recommend that before boarding a flight.
Think I'll run to the store and get some right now.
Favorite appetizers: potstickers, mozzarella cheese sticks ... oh, heck, I like all appetizers. Except, I'd like to say nachos, because I really love nachos when they're done well. But I've gotten really lousy nachos so many times in airport bars that I'm afraid to order them any more.

Favorite freebie = popcorn topped with M&Ms. Saw it in a bar in NYC, everyone else seemed to be enjoying it so I tried it. Really good. We won't think about the calories. 
Favorite appetizer = Batter-dipped mushrooms if available. If not, chicken nachos.
