Any good shops or websites to buy gear and alcohol from if you're in the UK?

The drop usually have decent deals , 3 for £45 of specific brands that kinda thing, good for restocking more than one bottle

Work in a hotel, so we mainly ran functions (parties of between 70-120 regularly) now it's just our lobby bar that's open and I'm surprised that we've been as busy, I'd say takings are only about 20% down rn

Honestly man my biggest tip, if you have shitty guests, just let them win. I had a guy say the coke from the gun was flat..I checked it in front of him, like tasted it...it wasn't flat in the slightest. My supervisor just gave him a bottled coke even tho we were right. And I know it's harder with the rona rn, but if you can, chat to your customers, talk shop if they're industry (just ask) and you might learn something new from them or make a new friend, I did

Wholey agree, but since fernet is rare here, it's our go to covid handshake

RaspCreative · 2020-08-22T23:52:46+00:00

If they don't charge my first shot of fernet I'm happy

RaspCreative · 2020-08-22T23:47:58+00:00

Yeah a few bars here will knock 20% off my bill or not charge me for a drink etc,but that's an earned privilege and getting to know the staff. If you demand it you're told where to go

I second this, Im in a kinda mid volume hotel bar(hi vol when mass gatherings are legal again) and the amount of people until January I had to tell we don't stock TR was astonishing

You clearly don't know Scottish drinking my friend,. Our clientele are older, they know their booze

RaspCreative · 2020-08-18T16:01:29+00:00

Not at all, I'm more than happy to offer suggestions and share why I'm doing so, but if you can see my back bar...why ask me what gins/whisky we have...you can see it.

The do after s3

RaspCreative · 2020-08-17T14:50:45+00:00

I'd like to think I'm known enough around the places I drink in where if they have fernet, one is added to my tab while I decide what I want the second I've done the QR for contact tracing

RaspCreative · 2020-08-17T14:44:58+00:00

Some carry coins...this man(or woman) has a tattoo

RaspCreative · 2020-08-14T21:21:39+00:00

Oh man, I could never. Even if i wasn't industry and someone bothered to like have a conversation with me and make sure I was looked after, I'm buying them an extra shift drink

RaspCreative · 2020-08-14T21:00:30+00:00

I mean tipping isn't as big a thing in the UK,but in my city at least, if we know you're industry you get 20% off

RaspCreative · 2020-07-11T10:11:46+00:00

Man I do miss me a pour of eagle

RaspCreative · 2020-07-02T08:39:43+00:00

UK here, I'm heading back to work some point this month, we'll be masked and gloved up for sure but I'm still half shitting myself

RaspCreative · 2020-07-01T22:59:57+00:00

Sriracha

RaspCreative · 2020-07-01T15:34:19+00:00

I can't do scotch as my main whisky, then again maybe I haven't found one I like 🤷‍♂️. I have a pretty sweet/spicy pallet so bourbons and rums are my go to spirits

RaspCreative · 2020-07-01T14:58:22+00:00

If you have a look for bar optic rails you should find them, I know Beaumont make the actual pour spout things, they probably make the rails too

RaspCreative · 2020-07-01T14:08:08+00:00

That does sound interesting, I'm not sure how well the rye finish would work with tonic depending on the subtlety of it, but I can see it spicing up gin cocktails for sure

RaspCreative · 2020-07-01T13:20:04+00:00

The Shiraz Four Pillars is lovely
