Depends upon many factors, not the least of which includes what life safety code was locally adopted.

For example, under NFPA 101 (2009) Life Safety Code, you would divide the net square footage by 15 square feet per person to obtain the area limit (433 people). Then you would calculate the egress load limit by allowing 0.2 inches per person. For instance, you would need at least 87 inches of egress openings (at least three doors 36 inches wide) to accommodate 433 people.

However, if there is live entertainment, the front doors alone would need to support exit of 2/3 of the max load, i.e., 289 people, which would require at least two 36-inch doors (out-swinging, panic hardware, etc), among other factors.

Your local fire protection engineer and fire marshal will do the calculations for your particular situation, based upon the local code.

What is the occupancy load for a 1440 square foot room?

It would depend almost entirely on what that room is USED for, i.e., the type of occupancy. If it is a storage room in a retail store, you are not allowed to have more than one person for each 300 sq ft (i.e., 5 people), but if it is a classroom in a K-12 education occupancy, you would be allowed one for each 20 sq ft of open space (net floorspace), i.e., 72 people. The NFPA Life Safety Code, or other similar code adopted in your jurisdiction, will determine what load factors to use for your particular occupancy, whatever it is. After you know the permissible load by area, you then calculate the permissible exit load, based upon the location, type and width of the various doors. If the exit load is smaller than the area load, your occupancy is limited by the exits.

How do you calculate the load occupancy of a bar?

Net floorspace divided by load factor from occupancy tables of applicable code. For instance, NFPA 101 requires 7 sq ft per person in compact dance areas and 15 sq ft per person where there is seating, provided it is not fixed seating. You then calculate the egress load by allowing one person for each 0.2 inches of doorway or hallway (whichever is narrower), or 0.3 inches if there are stairs. The lower number (area load or egress load) is the overall limit for that occupancy. There are, however, many other factors for each specific location, such as whether the main doors can accommodate at least 2/3 of the max load, whether there are sprinklers, whether there is live entertainment, what floor of the building it's on, what kind of building structure it is, etc.
