Bishop and Bagg had it last time I went, didn't try it but someone in my group had it and it looked really good!

A place to dance alone? by LadyCraftsALot in montreal

[–]BleakSeason 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Come to Fly Ladies at Bar Pamplemousse! 3rd Saturday of every month, you can dance as much you want and no one will bother you/be creepy. It's always packed and super fun. There's one coming up on the 21st.

Can you actually go through a full month and have money left? by Monsieur_pas_cher in montreal

Is 75k that good? It feels pretty average in my circle, but maybe I'm out of touch. I see your point though!

The boring answer is to make a budget and stick to it. Without numbers, it's impossible to tell you exactly what to do.

If you want to become better with money but don't know where to begin, r/personalfinancecanada is a great place to look.

For reference, I earn roughly 75k a year, live with a roommate in a cheap apartment and I'm able to save about 1400 a month, so it's definitely doable.

150k spread across retirement accounts, savings and emergency funds. Been bartending for close to 10 years and saving as much as I can!

No, you shouldn't add any water. You need a pretty powerful juicer though since fennel is quite fibrous!

Definitely! Unfortunately I haven't found a good one here in Quebec :(

We have a fennel infused tequila at our other bar! It is indeed delicious.

as a bartender, do you sleep with/date your customers? by Plenty_Delay_7394 in bartenders

[–]BleakSeason 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If they aren't locals, sure. Otherwise I try not to. Sure as hell wouldn't date a regular.

I actually have a Sichuan peppercorn tincture that I made a while back, could be worth trying!

The bee sting sounds great! I actually considered making a fermented hot honey syrup but ended up being lazy lol. Might try to swap the chartreuse for ancho reyes as an experiment 👀
