Bartender Girls

A bartender is a person who serves beverages (usually alcoholic) behind a counter (or similar) in a bar, pub, tavern, or similar establishment. A bartender, in short, "tends the bar". The term barkeeper may carry a connotation of being the bar's owner. In addition to their core beverage-serving responsibility, bartenders usually maintain the supplies and inventory for the bar (though some establishments have barbacks who help with these duties). In establishments where cocktails are served, bartenders are expected to be able to mix hundreds to thousands of different drinks.
Bartenders also usually serve as the public image of the bar they tend, contributing to as well as reflecting the atmosphere of the bar. In some establishments focused strictly on the food, this can mean the bartender is all but invisible. On the other extreme, some establishments make the bartender part of the entertainment, expected perhaps to engage in flair bartending or other forms of entertainment, such as those exemplified in the films Cocktail and Coyote Ugly. In regions where tipping is the norm, bartenders depend on tips for most of their income. Bartenders are also usually responsible for confirming that customers are of the legal drinking age before serving them alcohol.
