The map may tell you less than it appears to. Bars aren't subject to the efficiencies of size & consolidation as are grocery stores. The pattern must also be subject to the vagaries of state liquor laws and limitations on the number of liquor licenses.
I think the map shows exactly what it appears to show. Certainly there are reasons for these results, but the map wasn't created to visualize the factors you're mentioning.
I can't imagine this is accurate. How does San Francisco have more grocery stores than bars? Unless they're counting corner stores as grocery, when they function equally as liquor stores.
