If I recall correctly, bars are basically the same but involve the concentration of gas and dust near the center of the galaxy which generally has different dynamics from the disk out where we (and the spiral arms) live.
Observations made last year by the Spitzer telescope indicate that the Milky Way’s bar is oriented at about 45° to our direction from the galactic centre, and it’s some 8.3 kpc long, considerably larger and more distinct than had been evident from previous studies.
