On one side of Moe's Tavern is King Toot's Music Store. On the other side is an alley. Across the street was a factory formerly owned by Bart Simpson, until it collapsed. The inside of the bar has a few pool tables and a dartboard. It is very dank and "smells like tinkle". A small stage stands at one end; Aerosmith, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the B-Sharps have all performed there. Because female customers are so rare, Moe frequently uses the women's restroom as an office. A jar of pickled eggs perpetually stands on the bar. Moe's was briefly converted into a family restaurant called Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag.
Moe is perpetually single. In one episode, he has a panda-smuggling ring on the side; in another, a killer-whale smuggling ring. His claim to fame was the "Flaming Moe", a lit specialty drink whose secret ingredient is Krusty the Klown brand cough syrup. It stood to make him a fortune until Homer, the true originator of the drink, exposed the secret ingredient allowing several competitor knockoff drinks to spawn.

In Season ??, Barney finally kicked the alcoholism and transferred his addiction to espresso, which led to the disappearance of his trademark belch. Barney has demonstrated considerable talents as a singer, filmmaker, astronaut, and snow plow driver, but keeps getting foiled by his various addictions.
Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo has the worst name Moe ever heard, and is a friend to Barney and a patron of Moe's Tavern. Homer once used his name.
Lenny, Carl, and occasionally Charlie, Homer's colleagues at the nuclear plant, also frequent Moe's.
