I actually had to look this up, why are you spreading misinformation?

The idiom “raise the bar” came into use around 1900 and comes from the sport of track and field. The high jump event and the pole vault event both involve raising a crossbar incrementally to see how high the participants can jump or pole vault.

Because I grew up in cranberry country and that's what I had always been told. I'm not surprised to find this out though, because that makes a lot of sense.
