Heart Cocktail

Both of these anime have stylized 80's city pop style reflected in their approach to shading, among other things 

Two series targeted for a mature audience, both classy and refined with how they present themselves, in their stories too, and the BGM both have. There isn't a main plot throughout both series and are episodic in the short stories they tell but have a bit of live action mixed in too, where Bartender mainly uses it on the ED. Both have alcohol in them, Heart Cocktail using different beverages more to promote certain brands or use it to decorate their stories, meanwhile Bartender actually is about defining the different beverages each episode in conjunction with that episode's plot. Main difference would be that Bartender is centred around Eden Hall whereas Heart Cocktail has various different locations and people within each story, Bartender's episodes also being the length of a normal TV anime episode (23 minutes) whereas each episode of Heart Cocktail is roughly 5 or so minutes each within the each volume of OVA, and Bartender's stories tend to be more emotional compared to Heart Cocktail's more everyday experiences sorta stories. read more
