Nothing wrong with being labeled a "bar band". I'll take a great bar band over a hundred obscurist, loopy, loved by pitchfork bands. The Hold Steady is a great "bar band". The Bottle Rockets were a great bar band, back in the 90's. In my opinion, Superdrag is a decent bar band, and that's being generous. If they rate higher for you, well good for them. Enjoy.

They were only relevant in the 90's.
You could make the same case for a band like Dinosaur Jr. but their reunion shows were still great. I don't equate relevance with brilliance however. Superdrag's last (in 2002) ranks with their best work. And I still don't see why "bar band" is a bad thing. Seems every band I love has been given this label at some point. Then again, I love seing bands in bars. [/b]
