An Italian immigrant, Moe's real name is either "Moamar" or "Morris." His last name, Szyslak, suggests Polish roots. Regardless, his foreign past is a source of much embrassment and he does his best to conceal it publically.
He claims to be one of the original Little Rascals, and later became a boxer before establishing Moe's. He was also abandoned by his parents at a camp that Homer attended as a boy of ten. This raises some dispute as to his age--is he in his late thirties to early forties like Homer Simpson or around eighty, like Charles Montgomery Burns?
Moe's Tavern is located on a street corner, neighbouring King Toot's Music Store. 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, The Be Sharps and Krusty the Clown (during his "rebel comic" phase) have all performed there. Because female customers are so rare, Moe frequently uses the women's restroom as an office. (Moe claimed that there haven't been any ladies at Moe's since 1979.) 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 also once revamped his tavern for yuppie hipsters, renaming the bar "M."
Moe's Tavern is probably not the birthplace of the Rob Roy, despite what Moe claims. Despite having a degree in bartending, Moe is horrible at mixing drinks, and Duff BeerDuff Beer is a fictional brand of beer in the animated series The Simpsons''. It is Homer Simpson's beer of choice. It is a parody of stereotypical American mass-produced beer: poor-quality, cheap, and advertised everywhere. The beer's official spokespers is pretty much the only thing he serves. The only other notable drink that he mixes is the Flaming Moe (originally called the Flaming Homer, a drink in which Moe stole the recipe from Homer without acknowledging it). He once pointed out that the liquor bottles that appeared to be behind the bar were actually painted on the wall.

Moe is typically single although he had a girlfriend once for a short time ("Renee", voiced by Helen HuntHelen Elizabeth Hunt (born 15 June 1963) is an American actress. She was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of an acting coach. Hunt co-starred with Paul Reiser in the television sitcom Mad About You winning Emmy Awards for her performance in 1 - Season 9, Ep.5F12), as well as a girlfriend in the short "The Love-matic Grampa". Moe is said to be quite physically unattractive, which may partially account for his perpetual lonliness. He he also has a rather chronically bad sense of judgement in dealing with females, and while participating in a bachelor's auction he said his favorite quality in a woman was one who would "take their clothes off for money." Because of his lonliness, Moe is often depressed and suicidal.

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 inventor of the drink, exposed the secret ingredient allowing several competitor knockoff drinks to spawn.
Moe is frequently the victim of prank telephone calls from Bart Simpson. Bart's calls to Moe have asked for:
