What do you think "up to bar" means? Where did you pick up that expression? Did you ever consider that those who use the expression "up to par," which means being ahead of the expected number of strokes on a golf course, might think that you are a moron for not knowing the correct term? I dont know if "up to bar" is an actual term people use, but I do know that some of the people aware of the term "up to par" would look down on you. I definitely am.
