Whoopi Goldberg keeps coming back as a wise barman. But I don't understand why they'd need a barman. The replicator can make cocktails, at the end of season one it made the Southern musician dude "the best martini".

I'll avoid the spoilers and give you the nerd-ass star track answer you're looking for. The replicators are programmed to make cocktails only with synthetic alcohol. If you were friendly enough with the barkeep you could get the real thing.
