The word Bartender

Question

Ok, so when I go to the bar with my compas we just say "oyé bartender..." but I was wondering, are there actually any spanish words for a bartender?

Da bueno, cúando voy al bar con mis compas, decimos "oyé bartender..." pero yo me preguntaba, ¿hay una palabra que significa bartender en español?

Answer 1

Although the dictionary gives both mesero and camarero, I think cantinero sounds about right.

Marianne is right - check the "cantinero" in our dictionary :) - Issabela, Dec 1, 2009

Ok, cool. So, do know what root word that comes from, or why it's that? I'm just curious. =) Thanks again. - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009

Yes, It comes from "cantina" = a bar - --Mariana--, Dec 1, 2009

cantinero probably, o mesero...but camarero is a waiter from what I've heard and learned. - DJ_Huero, Dec 1, 2009
