In the back & at the back
Hi, there. I just came across this sentence:
We find a table in the back of the bar and look at the drinks menu.
Can we use " at the back of the bar" in this sentence? And what's the difference between "in the back" and " at the back"?

The author could have used "at the back of the bar," but that would give two "at's" in a row, which wouldn't sound good, so he used "in the back of the bar" instead.
