Whether they're good at listening to your problems or simply helping you forget them with a strong drink, these TV bartenders certainly are memorable.
From a classic character who runs a place where everyone will know your name to one who's known to break into song, here's a list of 15 TV bartenders who will help you drink your troubles away.
Which bartender is your favorite, and who else would you add to the list? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
1. Greg Serranno (Crazy Ex-Girlfriend)
Oh Greg, how we miss you. Crazy Ex-Girlfriend's Greg Serrano is one of the first friends Rebecca Bunch makes in her move to West Covina, California. He's not only a great bartender, but he can sing, too!
2. Sarah Braverman (Parenthood)
Sarah Braverman is one of those characters you wish you could be best friends with. She makes the decision to move with her kids back home when she has no where else to go, and works as a bartender to make ends meet. She's whimsical, hard-working, and great at her job, though eventually she finds a new passion and a new career.
3. Sam Malone (Cheers)
Sam Malone from Cheers is the iconic cool-guy bartender. Owner and bartender at Cheers, he's a laid back guy who's great with his customers. There's no other bar like his, and he makes it the kinf of place you can go where everybody knows your name. (Cue the theme song!)
4. Joe (Grey's Anatomy)
Owner of The Emerald City Bar across from the hospital, Joe could take a little credit for Meredith and Derek's love story. In the very least, he was the person who watched them meet for the first time. And when he collapsed in the bar, he was lucky to be surrounded by doctors, and received an out of the ordinary operation that saved his life. It's a been a while since we've seen good old Joe, though there's no explanation to why that is.
5. Luke Cage (Jessica Jones / Luke Cage)
Luke Cage is likely the coolest bartender on this list. We first see him appear on Jessica Jones when she stops by his bar, but we quickly learn his bartending abilities are nothing compared to his superhuman abilities.
6. Dee (It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia)
True, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia's Dee isn't exactly what you'd call a skilled bartender -- or a friendly one -- but she certainly is memorable!
7. Carl (How I Met Your Mother)
The resident bartender at McLaren's Pub, Carl is a just as reliable as the booth Ted, Marshall, Lily, Robin, and Barney always hang out in. He also knows how to make a killer drink, including a shot called the "Red Dragon."
8. Nick Miller (New Girl)
If there's there's anything Nick Miller is good at, it's pouring a drink and giving advice. He may not always say the right thing, but he's honest, that's for sure.
9. Moe (The Simpsons)
No, Moe isn't a nice guy bartender. He's short-tempered, his bar is a mess, and he keeps a shotgun behind the counter. But hey, isn't all of that part of his charm?
10. Xander Harris (Buffy the Vampire Slayer)
Xander wasn't a bartender for long, and he wasn't very good at it either. Except, of course, that it was good he was around to realize the beer was being spiked and turning everyone into Neanderthals.
11. Tara Thornton (True Blood)
True Blood's Tara Thornton isn't afraid to say it like it is, and working as a bartender at Merlotte's is the perfect fit for her. Just don't make her mad, okay?
12. Isaac Washington (The Love Boat)
Another classic, there's no other TV bartender quite as wonderful as Isaac. He'll serve you a nice drink with a little umbrella and help you solve your problems while he's at it!
13. Jack Porter (Revenge)
Revenge's Jack Porter is a down to earth guy who runs the bar that his father once owned, The Stowaway Tavern. Eventually, he makes a career change to become a police officer.
14. Guinan (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
Guinan tuns Ten Forward, the lounge on the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: The Next Generation. If there was a ever a bartender who was a good listener, it's her. Oh, and she's played by Whoopi Goldberg.
15. Godot (Bunheads)
Bunheads' Godot is a laid back bartender with a sensitive side, working at the Oyster Bar in Paradise, California. All the girls have a crush on him, and really, who can blame them?
