Its one of those gems I keep going back to. From Kaoruko Ohtake, who as of today, has only worked on this anime.

A lot of the time I find myself checking out an anime soundtrack and tossing 60% to 90% of the tunes away and only keeping a few, but with Bartender nearly every track is 5 star worthy.

Lately I've been digging: Grasshopper, Sidecar, Red Eye, Million Dollar, Hemmingway's Daiquiri.

If you'd just found a nameless CD with this soundtrack burned on it and decided to give it a listen, you'd never guess its from a show about a bartender.

Although some tunes do really make you feel like you're in a smokey bar. Some of them feel emotional with lovely climaxes. Others are just plain sexy.

Good night time music.

Wow, coincidence. I was just now listening to the soundtrack and thinking how I absolutely love it. Such to an extent where I need to buy it, which would then be the only anime OST I have ever bought. Every song brings me back to each episode of Bartender, kind of feel like watching it now.

My favourites are Margarita, Manhattan and Hemmingways Daiquiri.

Wish I had friends who could appreciate this kind of music, this is music that I'd like playing in the background of a get together. It's really nice, romantic even.

Can't believe I hadn't downloaded it until now, but yeah, wonderful soundtrack. The music was definitely the highlight of the show for me (not that the show itself was bad by any means; I just loved the music).

The OST is simply amazing. You can easily tell a lot of passion was put into these songs.

I've been listening to a few of the tracks, and am loving it. It reminds me of some of the songs from The Big O (Apologize, etc)
Does anyone know where one could purchase this CD? Really want to add this one to my collection.

I agree 100% with Beatnik, the soundtrack is stellar. It creates a wonderfully moody atmosphere complimenting such a peaceful series.

I bought the CD when the show aired. A quick trip to cdjapan.co.jp shows it is no longer available there. It is available used from third parties at Amazon, but it now costs over $100: https://www.amazon.com/Bartender-Various-Artists/dp/B000JBWXLY

I always imagined Ootake noodling on the piano in a corner of Bar Eden Hall.

I've watched this show so often by now that I no longer find Shiraki Yuuko's voice as weird as I did when I first heard her sing! The OP/ED single, Hajimari no Hito, is still available at Amazon for $21. It's linked in my review of the Bartender CD at Amazon.
