In case he was searched.
ETA: Once entering the bar through the front (having a chance to scan the inside area), he made his way to the back door, unlocked it and then positioned himself at the bar, closest to the back door. |

The only reason I can see doing that would be if he wasn't supposed to show up armed & was worried about being searched. That way he could attempt to run out the back & try to grab it if he needed to.

When you know there's a good chance you'll be searched while under the gun, you stash on your planned escape route if SHTF.

in case he was searched he could just pose as a dumb tourist who wanted a late night nip.

Gotcha, I thought of that too....but then I was like, "well, there's no police in the bar".
I wasn't thinking about him being searched by the other folks in the bar. |

He's being hired by very bad people who he was sent to kill (Shamus).
Assumed he would be searched and loose weapon in process. If he was "renditioned" for any reason, it would most likely be out the backdoor to avoid bystanders. |

The whole point of the movie is that all the operatives were former security services from their respective countries that were now mercenaries (Ronin). They would take the appropriate precautions when meeting someone new. |

If the people in the bar expected him and he was supposed to be a soldier- wouldn't they expect him to have a gun?? It only makes sense if he went into a bar where they weren't expecting him and he has to pretend t be totally innocent. - and that's assuming the peopel in the bar would be hardcore enough to search a random stranger. |
