Oxford Dictionary
bartender/barmaid: a woman who works in a bar, serving drinks
به نظرم "می‌پرست" در اینجا "ساقی/شراب‌ده" معنا می شود

toper


Explanation:
This seems to be a line in the poem بزم‌ها by بارق شفیعی
https://pressa.tj/9453/
دختران می‌پرست seems to have a strong negative connotation on that context. It also seems not about wine, which has a positive vibe in the Persian literature, but about heavy drinking of alchol by posh girls. 'toper' is old-style, like می‌ِ پَرست

"Let him alone," said an old toper; and Griffith remained a good hour with his head on the table.

'Dispomaniac' also gives the same meaning. However, it might be a bit heavy here. The line would be something like 'the gigles of maiden topers'.
