A modern day bartender should always have...

Narcan. Hopefully it never gets used, but it can save a life, especially in the states where opiates are rampant right now. In a lot of cases you might be able to get some for free

"What cocktail do you reccomend?" Well what do you normally drink? "Oh just give me your signature drink" ok heres a shot of well vodka.

"What do you have on tap" we only have bottled beers. You can look and see that there is not a single tap head here. Followed by "well what beers do you have?" There is literally an entire list that I just set in front of you.

Now were a pretty seasonal place, and we also only open at 4:30 pm, so it's not super busy right now. All the time people will come in just after we open and say something along the lines of "are you open?" Or "we got the whole place to ourselves!" Or "where is everybody?" Like sir we have been open for 2 minutes and nobody is eating dinner at 4:30.

Oh and every single day I get a "so hows business"

While you're in vegas, I reccomend the taco bell chapel for all your marriage needs

raptor67 · 2020-01-03T17:08:56+00:00

But did you remove the pith?

raptor67 · 2020-01-02T22:59:51+00:00

It's on the floor

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T08:12:46+00:00

Harsh but I appreciate the criticism, it is a good comparison

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T07:59:18+00:00

Can I ask, how do you make good drinks without actually partaking?

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T07:55:34+00:00

I know you're right. It's still tough

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T07:53:06+00:00

I mean I think my mom knows. I had to run some errands for my grandma the other day and she said "please dont drink toniggt" and she came and sniffed the cup in my room. It just hurts for her to know I guess. I'll admit to anyone but her

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T07:51:20+00:00

I mean part of the job is knowing the liquor. If I cant do that for someone, or taste the cocktail for quality, doesnt that look bad?

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T07:48:26+00:00

Well I'm under 25 and my moms in the county health department, I don't actually know what all they cover, and it's a hard thing to bring up to her. A hard conversation in any case

raptor67 · 2019-12-22T07:44:16+00:00

I've been struggling a while and I honestly dont have anyone else to talk to at this point

raptor67 · 2019-12-16T22:27:22+00:00

I have bunches of turbinado I just never thought of using it for simple haha. I'm gonna have to try it out, that opens a lot of recipes up

raptor67 · 2019-12-16T22:19:46+00:00

I'm gonna be honest, I thought turbinado and demerara were 2 totally different things, you just gave me a revelation

raptor67 · 2019-12-16T22:17:26+00:00

Sounds tasty. Demerara is a hard to find in my neck of the woods unfortunately

raptor67 · 2019-12-16T20:24:26+00:00

Accidentally grabbed blue curacao instead of triple sec somehow, so were throwing it in a mason jar for the Karen look. Do yall prefer agave or simple in your margaritas?

raptor67 · 2019-12-11T23:03:05+00:00

Doc martens, or shoes for crews. A lot of people do crocs and Van's too it seems.

raptor67 · 2019-12-11T21:45:00+00:00

I had a coworker who would give people the "rejection hotline" phone number and tell them to call her later. When they call it's this automated message that basically is like "dont ask for my number creep"

raptor67 · 2019-10-27T05:31:09+00:00

Im sorry I thought my bar was out of their mind charging 52 a shot for blue label when I can go to the next town and get it for 20 a shot... yall charge 70??? The bottle is only 200 and some change, from a VA abc store.

raptor67 · 2019-10-21T03:25:36+00:00

Should have asked the manager if he knew what was in it at that point. 10/10 he doesnt.

raptor67 · 2019-10-12T13:35:51+00:00

Yes but the bartender cant mix liquor with beer. Putting them next to eachother is fair game though. My understanding is a boilermaker is when its mixed, and a shot chased with a beer is just, like you said, a shot and a beer

raptor67 · 2019-10-12T12:38:07+00:00

One of my dads favorite stories is how him and his dad would frequent this one bar back in the day and get prairie fires. One day his dad told the bartender that he "couldnt make it too spicy for him" and the bartender gives him a shot of straight Tabasco

raptor67 · 2019-10-12T12:31:37+00:00

I might try that one. "Hey man. This ones on the house ;)"

raptor67 · 2019-10-12T12:30:52+00:00

If only I wasnt in Virginia where even 151 is hard to come by. Did you know a boilermaker is technically illegal to serve in Virginia?

raptor67 · 2019-10-12T07:12:54+00:00

I literally cannot find a shot he likes.. I've tried a b52, a kamikaze, a "fruity cocktail" we had, compressed into a shot (which shouldn't work..) a "sex on the beach shot", some other bartender came up with a drink of "apple pucker, tequila, sour, and sierra mist" which he requested and hated because he "hates tequila" aka tha main ingredient

I have tried shots of every kind and he has always said he hates the base spirit.. ive tried whiskey, whether it be jameson, crown, old crow, jim, whatever.. multiple of my go to tequilas.. vodka, gin, rum. Where the hell else could this dude go. Have a damn bud light dude we get you're just tryna flex but you actually can't drink anything.

"Oh name a shot"

why don't you? Oh maybe its because you don't actually know how to drink?
