It is a combination of a café, restaurant and cocktail bar

It is also a play on words as a blender is a piece of kitchen or bar equipment used to liquidise or emulsify food or drink. Cocktails are also blended, though not necessarily in a blender.

And, of course, one can have various blends of coffee (different mixes of beans).

Thanks Jack
agree Alexandra Taggart : "to blend elements" - is typically found in the interior designer's language

Thanks Alexandra. Indeed, but in this context the play on words is evident.

The Metbar is a café, restaurant and cocktail bar combined

It isn't the clearest way to say it, that's sure.

To give a fuller explanation if needed, this hotel has a stylish place where you can get food and drink. It's called "Metbar" and it serves snacks (like a café), full meals (like a restaurant) and a full range of alcoholic drinks (like a cocktail bar).
Peer comment(s):

neutral B D Finch : Other than "stylish", the description would of course fit a lot of pubs! But they couldn't very well say "the Metbar provides snacks, meals and cocktails - just like Wetherspoons." // Agree - me too - that was just an aside.

I agree, but this is a monolingual question so I was explaining what it meant - it's for the Asker to decide how to word it in whatever language he's using
