A man who works behind a bar, mixing and serving drinks to customers.
Compound word from 'bar' (the counter) and 'man.' The term is primarily British; Americans more commonly use 'bartender' (from 'bar' + 'tender,' meaning one who tends or cares for the bar).
British English and American English split on this word—Brits say 'barman' or 'barmaid,' while Americans say 'bartender.' Interestingly, 'tender' in bartender means someone who 'tends to' or 'cares for' the bar!
