A bar is a retail business establishment that serves alcoholic beverages. There is a bar on every base in the Gemini Sector with the exceptions of Gaea and the Derelict. Bars in larger urban areas are traditional meeting places for businessmen, called fixers, who are seeking privateers to perform missions that can not be offered through the Mission Computers, Mercenaries' Guild or Merchants' Guild. These missions are agreed to on a handshake basis and payment is never guaranteed. Bartenders are a source of news and rumors. Exploratory Services' officer Gabriel Quentin wrote about bars in GEMINI SECTOR: AN OVERVIEW.

Bar
Nearly every place in the human universe has a bar. Gemini is no exception. Bars are not only one of the most prolific industries in our sector but are useful to the ambitious privateer. Businessmen in need of pilots to undertake especially lucrative (read “dangerous”) missions often solicit them over a drink. Large urban areas are more likely to produce these fixers because of the huge number of bureaucrats and middlemen there. Be warned that most employers met this way bind their contracts with only a handshake and often prove not to be legit. Sandoval, in New Detroit, nearly always has something of interest. Also of interest in our bars are the staff members. It has been my professional experience that a good bartender knows more about the war than military intelligence types do, and more about trading than the Merchants’ Guild ever will. Learning from bartenders has always been an important part of doing business in Gemini, a part of our culture

Behind the Screens
Bars were initially intended to host randomly generated fixers who would offer Mad Libs-style missions similar to the Mission Computers. This feature was cut late in development.
The Oxford Bar is frequently referred to as King's Arms in behind the screens material but this name is never used on screen.
Initial sketches of the repair bay were by artist Paul Steed; Steed would often add scantily clad women to his concept work.
