My interpetation of "Misunderstanding" made me think about personal deception (i.e., happiness is at the bottom on the shot glass). The liquid in the shot glass is actually just water with the perfect combination of food coloring.

Completing the sentence of your title. Definitely at the bar, but it must be a day off because anytime I've ever been to a bar when the sun was still shining (blue light reflecting from window) was on the weekend or vacation.
Looking Deeper
A clever take on the challenge. Humorous, but with a deeper level available for those who want to wade in and reflect.
The photo has a nice balance of subject material with the DOF covering the shot glass, whiskey bottle, and countertop, yet throwing everything else nicely OOF in the background.
The reflections don't distract in a large way for me, although I would like to see how this would have came out using a polarizer. Benefits of losing some reflections would be clearer reading of the label, but not so sure that's important to the story...the bottle says enough. The blue cast, while natural of outdoor light coming indoors, is something I probably would have toned down some by doing a slight desat on the blue channel. Personal preference for sure.
One thing I am surprised at is the smallish size of your entry. The max long side can be 720, you only used 70% of that. Much more impact can be gained with larger image size. Food for thought. :-)
I enjoyed viewing your entry the first time around while voting. It was a pleasure taking another look.
