Now you don’t have to trust the other customers, only the bar you’re at, their ISP and a million other parties between you and the site you’re visiting.

That's a reasonable point, but I'm speaking from the perspective of the bar owner - I feel I have a duty to provide better security even if the patrons have no reason to trust me.

Like a bar is going to run account administration.. at most they’re going to set a proper password with WPA2-PSK which provides protection against outsiders. But it can’t provide protection against an active attacker that has the password.

You could have a wifi access product that used a voucher system. The code could be on the bar receipt.

They're probably also not putting up a captive portal, so what's your point?
