Spanish term or phrase: barandillero, Barero
Buenos dias! Quisiera saber si alguien conoce estos terminos. Estoy traduciendo un diccionario de neologismos (por lo que no hay contexto) y estos son los terminos:
barandillero (sustantivo) = inversor que asiste a las sesiones e interviene en operaciones bursátiles desde la barandilla que rodea al parquet
barero (adjetivo) = que frecuenta los bares

En barero pense en el termino bargoer. Sin embargo, eso es un sustantivo y la traduccion tiene que ser de un adjectivo.
De antemano les agradezco su colaboracion!

English translation:bar-going
Explanation:
This seems to have some currency, although not a common expression as yet.

“Bar-going Britons may soon be bidding goodbye to their country’s all-you-can-drink deals, as well as some of their more outlandish drinking games.”

I'll look into your other word, but you should really post separately as they are separate terms - Kudoz rules.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you Gilla!! I think I will use that term because it can be used as adjective and that is what I need. If you find something regarding the other word, I would REALLY appreciate it.

neutral  Gilla Evans: Nice noun, but I don't think it can be used as an adjective which is what the Asker wants.

  -> Funny thing, just this morning I was thinking, what if the asker was looking for an adjective? And lo and behold, so she was, as you, Gilla, point out. Gotta think this one out for a bit. Prob is, in Spanish, noun and adjective are often homographic.

* The other is going to depend on what kind of bar, if it's always the same bar or the person goes from bar to bar, the age of the person, and the amount of money involved. Adjectives are going to limit this so I'd recommend making an effort to work the sentence to make the best description fit. Some ideas: a regular on the cocktail circuit (upscale, moves around), a regular bar-goer (could be anybody - bargoer - Wiktionary en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bargoer -
bar +‎ -goer. ... One who goes to or attends bars. ... For every $1.40 hike in drink price, the bargoer was 30 percent less likely to leave the bar legally drunk. Note: Merriam Webster does list this word yet, but does list prom-goer so I've added a hyphen. )
