Bargirl

A bargirl is a woman who works as a hostess or dancer in bars to provide company or sexual services to patrons; the exact nature of services and varieties of bar varying by country/region. In most cases, these cater mostly to male clients, although in some cases women are also clients. Variants on the term include B-girl," "unhappy girl" and "guest relations officer."

These kinds of bargirls include hostess bars (primarily in East Asia, but also elsewhere), go-go bars and "beer bars" (Southeast Asia), dance bars (India), and while the term "bargirl" is not used, the basic form is similar in some other areas such as the boliches of Argentina.

Note that this term should not be confused with a barmaid, who serves drinks in a bar but is not expected to entertain customers personally or provide sexual services. Many bars that employ bargirls will have additional service staff, who may be of either sex.
