Bar-a-Bar was oorspronkelijk een kleine gezellige club in het hartje van Sint-Truiden, waar vooral vocal-house centraal stond. Ondanks de kleine capaciteit van +-300 personen, groeide deze club op korte termijn uit naar een vaste waarde in het Belgische nachtleven. Dit mede dankzij residenties van bekende namen zoals Jean Delaru, Mr Grammy, Delriva, Christophe, David en gekende guest sets van o.a. Philip (Carat, Illusiion, La Rocca), Marko (La Rocca), Wout (Illusion), Stefan (Carat), ... 
Zoals bij alle mooie liedjes moest ook Bar-a-Bar in 2005 noodgedwongen zijn deuren sluiten.  Het sluiten van de club was daarbij zeker nog niet het einde van de hype want in de daaropvolgende jaren bleek 'Bar-a-Bar' bij velen nog in het hart te zitten. Daarom besloten enkele vaste waarden de club nieuw leven in te blazen met de organisatie van de ondertussen befaamde Bar-a-Bar reunions. Tijdens enkele zeer succesvolle clubedities bleek de aanhang voor dit sub-genre van de housemuziek nog steeds zeer groot, met telkens weer uitverkochte edities als resultaat. De capaciteit in de clubs werd echter te klein en daarom werd besloten het concept te verplaatsen naar de Ethias. Een succes zo bleek want 2 keer op rij werd het feest compleet uitverkocht. Nadien is men voor het behoud van de authenticiteit teruggekeerd naar de club-edities en heeft dit concept ook al 2 jaar op rij een eigen stage op Extrema-Outdoor Belgium gehost.
