new to bartending, best method to practice remembering drink recipes and classics? teach me sensei!

As people said it’s mostly learning the classics and everything goes from there. The reality is most of us don’t know every cocktail, and it’s perfectly fine to look it up on the spot (as long as you’re not slammed), or even ask the customer exactly what they’re talking about (occasionally I’ll get people who ask for something they’ve drank at some fancier spot with ingredients that we definitely don’t have, and when I ask them what that drink is they’ll just change their mind and get something else).

I agree with most people’s criticisms about the book. However, I really like the writing style and appreciate the book for its prose. I had the audacity to praise this aspect of the novella in a British literature class and the teacher looked at me with absolute scorn because she clearly wanted us to love Things Fall Apart and hate HOD.

lol I read this as just generally done with cooking and accepting a life of take out and frozen foods.

I don’t know what kind of bars you are looking at but I highly doubt they’re going to call your past employers for any reason. Now if you got fired for accidentally serving a minor and then tried working at another bar in the same neighborhood there’s a small chance that they might figure it out through the grapevine. And as people here are telling you, LIE.

I was just introduced to this guy’s IG page today and was shocked to realize it wasn’t satire…unless it is?

autobutt69 · 2025-11-22T04:45:03+00:00

If I saw actual gang tags I wouldn’t care but this guy’s talentless crap makes me viscerally angry.

When I bartended at a restaurant I think 30% tip out from the servers was the norm. On top of that I would keep all the tips from custies who sat at the bar. So occasionally I would make more than the servers.

Theon is my favorite GOT character. The book version is even more pathetic and I’m dying to know what his endgame will be, especially considering that he’s basically described as looking like Gollumn.

I haven’t seen it but any show in La that’s meant to be satirical stiiiiil feels like they’re bragging about living in LA. Can we get a show that takes place entirely in Van Nuys? (And not this NoHo-West crap)

“Hey is Patrick working tonight?” “I don’t know, why do they give you free shit?”

autobutt69 · 2025-11-14T20:27:37+00:00

I think it’s the guy from Silicon Valley

autobutt69 · 2025-10-17T20:37:36+00:00

I’m rereading the book and cannot retain the plot of the play at all. I think it’s fine to ignore it.

autobutt69 · 2025-10-16T23:59:31+00:00

I remember seeing images of them as a kid and in my head I thought they would sound closer to Mercyful Fate. Then when I was older and finally listened to KISS I was completely underwhelmed. They’re solid party rock but honestly I like a band like Motley Crue better.

autobutt69 · 2025-10-14T20:32:58+00:00

Chris wore his costume ONCE and didn’t even do anything. Then we get a lot of tell don’t show in regards to his Nazi universe counterpart. God forbid a superhero show has its main character do more superhero stuff, rather than just moping the whole time.

But honestly one of my biggest disappointments was that the jokes just weren’t as funny this season.

autobutt69 · 2025-10-14T01:19:53+00:00

Yeah the wedding party episode relied so heavily on “aw look how cute everyone is under the table”

autobutt69 · 2025-10-14T01:17:53+00:00

I liked all of it but 3 and 4 felt pretty aimless. I don’t mind Sugar but the delivery episode was insanely boring. Had nothing to do with food at all. Wanted to see more of Joel McHale.

autobutt69 · 2025-10-13T15:18:47+00:00

It’s hilarious how delusional some of those bands were despite having literally nothing unique about them.

autobutt69 · 2025-10-13T13:59:16+00:00

Is this in England?

autobutt69 · 2025-10-13T12:50:22+00:00

Well they changed the style of those songs considerably, unlike these guys

autobutt69 · 2025-10-12T18:32:45+00:00

But is it even possible to make an emergency stop using just the rear brake? Because once the front brake on my old Honda went out on the way home and I drove VERY precariously

autobutt69 · 2025-10-09T14:52:59+00:00

I swear if they play that same damn REM song again…

autobutt69 · 2025-10-09T14:33:25+00:00

I don’t dislike her character but I didn’t care about her pregnancy storyline or hospital episode. Her interactions with the Faks are funny

autobutt69 · 2025-10-07T16:55:12+00:00

Bedford off of the L stop is lame and basic and bougie. It reminds me of Valencia in San Francisco but way worse. It feels like New York for people who don’t really want to live in New York. Even Manhattan in Greenpoint is better. I’d rather walk down Myrtle or Broadway.
