Bar Chart

  

No, it's not a chart comparing neighborhood watering holes by quality of the food and drink to the attractiveness of the clientele.

It's a type of graph good for visually comparing the differences in the number or probability of non-numerical (categorical) data like colors, different investments, countries, etc.

Bars should all start from 0 and be separated by some blank space between categories.
