barback

Someone who works behind the bar doing everything but serving drinks. They do things like restocking the fridge, replacing spirit, wine, and juice bottles, cleaning, replacing ice, et cetera.

Lorie is a barback so she spends most of her time restocking the bar area.

Barback

In colloquial terms... the bartender's bitch.

They do most of the work for about half of the tips that bartenders make. However, it's a great stepping stone for newbies in the service industry. They just have to make their expectations clear that they want to eventually move up so management won't take advantage of their reliability and hard work.

Every well-paying bartender was once a barback

Barback

To ride on the bar wearing ass-less chops, pretending to "ride 'em cowboy"

Liquid encouragement gave the woman the balls to barback at a bar in Nashville, TN.
