Bar-back

A barback or runner, as they are commonly known in Europe, is a bartender's assistant. Bar-backs work in nightclubs, bars, restaurants and catering halls, and usually receive a portion of the bartender's tips. At high volume bars, the tips are divided where more than one bar-back is present. While the legal drinking age in the United States is 21, the minimum age to work as a bartender or bar-back varies from 18 to 21.
