Quark's Bar

Quark's establishment on Deep Space Nine

The bar, restaurant, gambling house and holosuite arcade run by the Ferengi Quark on the Promenade of Deep Space Nine.

Quark's Bar, more fully known as Quark's Bar, Grill, Gaming House and Holosuite Arcade, is the busy social centre of Deep Space Nine. Run by the Ferengi Quark, it sits on the station's Promenade and offers food, drink, dabo tables and holosuites. Quark opened the bar during the Cardassian occupation and stayed on when Starfleet took over after Benjamin Sisko persuaded him.
The bar is a meeting place for everyone on the station. Morn sits at the counter, Quark's brother Rom works there before becoming an engineer, and his nephew Nog spends time with Jake Sisko. Constable Odo keeps a close eye on Quark's many schemes. Scenes in the bar range from comic plots about profit to serious stories set during the Dominion occupation of the station, when Quark kept it open and helped the resistance.
Quark's Bar is a lively and much-loved setting in Deep Space Nine. It shows a different side of Federation life, where money and Ferengi customs mix with Starfleet ideals, and it brings many of the show's best characters together.
