    On the house, is a synonym of free because of its usage in bar across the United States and other English speaking countries to describe free drinks. If the bartender said that a drink was on house, he means that the the drink was paid for (on table) by (house) by the bar. In essence when the bartender said on the house he meant he was giving you a free drink. Once popular in books and movies, the term is no longer used. It is used

    more and more in TV and movies.
