She does not work and spends all her time in bars, etc.
This is how I understand it.

Andrew Levine
: I suppose the phrase "live-in bar staff" could be used as a sarcastic quip in the way you describe, but this seems straightforward and literal // still Disagree: The context is clear enough in this case.

hi, Andrew, thank you for your comment - still as you agree that under certain circumstances such situation is still possible - then - without a bigger context - It would be better that you change your comment to neutral

: Very unlikely. It's much more likely that the bar belongs to a hotel or a resort and the bar staff live there.

: Very common in out-of-the-way locations. Where we ski in Austria, there is always hütte staff (often temp and from another country or region) that receive room and board there.
