I see various translations for this word, but I am curious if this is only restaurants, or if it includes bars as well?
Thanks.

Any and all eating or drinking establishments (i.e., includes bars)
Per Japanese law, 飲食店 is the largest category, and is broken down into two sub-categories: 一般飲食店 and 遊興飲食店, the former not serving alcohol, the latter serving it.
One of the sub-categories is for "bars, cabarets, and night clubs."

I would say that this is most commonly "restaurants."
The main activity at an 飲食店 would be *eating*, not drinking.
(Although decent bars also offer decent food, but that's perhaps secondary to the main activity of drinking???)

: Generally used as restaurants, and not bars. バーは bar. As Marc points out, there may be legal implications, but really, when Japanese people (like myself) say 飲食店 restaurants, cafeteria, etc.

: I have to go with Marc Adler's answer that it refers to ANY place that serves food or drink.
