:: - [[Vic Fontaine]] ({{DS9|What You Leave Behind}})
 
 
A '''bartender''' (or '''barkeep''' or '''barmaid''') is someone generally employed by a drinking establishment to serve drinks, generally [[alcohol]], behind a [[bar]].
 
 
In [[19th century|1881]], [[Ed]] was the bartender of the one saloon in [[Tombstone]], [[Arizona]]. ({{TOS|Spectre of the Gun}})
 
 
The [[Dixon Hill]] stories, written in the [[1930s]], featured at least two bartenders that Dixon Hill often visited to learn of the whereabouts of certain criminals. One was named [[Rex]] who ran his own self-named bar and enthralled [[Lwaxana Troi]]; [[Unnamed Dixon Hill characters#Nightclub bartender|another]] squealed on [[Nicky the Nose]]. ({{TNG|Manhunt}}; {{film|8}})
 
 
In [[2152]], [[Captain]] [[Jonathan Archer]] and [[Lieutenant]] [[Malcolm Reed]] met a barkeep on a pre-warp planet prior to Lieutenant Reed's [[cultural contamination]]. ({{ENT|The Communicator}})
 
 
In [[2153]], the crew of the [[Enterprise (NX-01)|''Enterprise'']] discovered a group of [[Human]]s who had taken over a [[Skagaran]] colony. The barkeep of the local saloon had some Skagaran slaves, such as [[Draysik]]. ({{ENT|North Star}})
 
 
In [[2254]] [[Doctor]] [[Philip Boyce]] told [[Christopher Pike]] that a man will tell his bartender things he'll never tell his doctor when he gave him an [[ice]]d [[martini]]. ({{TOS|The Cage}})
 
 
There was a bartender on [[Argelius II]] during the "[[Redjac]] murders" in [[2267]]. ({{TOS|Wolf in the Fold}})
 
 
In [[2268]], [[Cyrano Jones]] attempted to sell [[Antarean glow water]], [[Spican flame gem]]s, and [[tribble]]s to a bartender on [[Deep Space K-7]]. The bartender wisely declined. Unfortunately, his bar became overwhelmed with the tribbles when they bred and multiplied later on. ({{TOS|The Trouble with Tribbles}}; {{DS9|Trials and Tribble-ations}})
 
 
[[Guinan]] worked as the barkeep for the [[Ten Forward]] lounge on the {{USS|Enterprise|NCC-1701-D|-D}} from [[2365]]-[[2371]] at the personal request of [[Captain]] [[Jean-Luc Picard]]. (''[[Star Trek: The Next Generation]]'')
 
 
[[Quark]] was the eponymous owner and bartender of [[Quark's]] on [[Terok Nor]] (and later [[Deep Space 9]]) for at least thirteen years in the [[2360s]] and [[2370s]]. Quark operated the bar through the latter years of the [[Cardassian]] [[Occupation of Bajor]], the Cardassian withdrawal, [[Federation]] administration of the station, and the [[Dominion War]]. Other employees of Quark's also tended the bar, including [[Rom]], [[Broik]], and [[Leeta]]. (''[[Star Trek: Deep Space Nine]]'') However, Quark disliked the term "barkeep"; [[Miles O'Brien]] once called him a "barkeep", much to Quark's irritation. ({{DS9|Captive Pursuit}})
 
 
In [[2372]], a [[Kazon]] bartender worked on the planet [[Sobras]]. He informed [[Neelix]] where [[Jal]] [[Tersa]] was seating. ({{VOY|Alliances}})
