A breakfast bar is either a full kitchen island or a countertop overhang with a height that has enough room for the legs and a size that can accommodate ample room for meals.
Kitchen cabinets building a breakfast bar.
The shelves run all the way to the wall but i could never put anything back there without having to take everything back out to get to whatever was back there.
The countertop here is extended from the kitchen cabinets to form a floating peninsula breakfast bar.
The lack of base cabinets gives the room a feeling of flow.
If they are shorter you could consider having a shorter bar or custom building bar height cabinets if you have your heart set on making a bar out of kitchen cabinets.
Kitchen cabinets are sold in several standard heights including 30 36 and 42 inches if your cabinets happen to be 42 inches tall they are perfectly suited for a traditional bar.
A standard bar height is 42 inches.

As you can see in this photo i have access to the first half of the shelves in my breakfast bar from the front.
A typical breakfast bar counter has a standard height of 42 inches 107 centimeters and a depth countertop overhang of 12 to 16 inches 30 to 40 centimeters.
