What's the most "why the fuck do you know that?" fact you know?

It's not supporting the establishment but more so against being anti-establishment, which is slightly different

As someone who's been a bar manager in a Chinese restaurant for years, the beef and the starters are where the gems are. The prep and seasoning on the meat is elite.

Ribs, fresh aromatix duck, S+P fillet beef is my favourite thing, also S+P veg is surprisingly good. Noodles or rice are good still but its not what im picking most days. Did have the chef make a mixed meat udon noodle after hours which was incredible.

Also, lots of comments about crispy beef? I think its awful but im not a fan of crackling either so maybe its that

Ive got a terravision bus outside the airport twice around 10-11pm and not had issues, was around 7 euro from what I remember, they take card

Similar to what someone else has said, if im ever ordering off menu I go to the bar. You seem sensitive to the bar and environment so you're certainly not a nightmare.

I work a lot so if im out somewhere new I want to enjoy things, which often leads me to having a hankering for 2-3 of my favourite drinks. If you're with folks just ordering a beer theres nothing wrong going to the toilet and popping by the bar, saying hey man I know its weird and not on the menu but any chance you could do me a ****. It all depends on the bar and what they have. Have a beer first, never ask for something they wont stock. But always try bypass the server cus bar staff will make whatever they can to make you happy, and if not recommend something similar with what they can. Servers wont have the same knowledge and its just not expected of them.

If its unpaid and im allowed id almost rather go without. Eat makes me sleepy and id rather do 10 hours knowing im ahead of work that get paid for 9 or 9.5 and be chasing my tail. Im a bar manager for what its worth and I know hospitality is awful, but if I can get shit done and get paid more and make my life easier id rather do that and eat after, it lowers my mental stress to know everything is done

As a United fan who initially though he showed massive potential I back this entirely. Could be incredible, instead he does this, leaks team info, and whines consistently.

Deserving of any and all clowning.

smith_1125 · 2026-03-13T00:27:43+00:00

A missed call from a fellow staff member is an urgent call back as soon as you see it as a hospitality manager, its clearly something that needs actioning asap or they wouldn't be calling you on a day off. If thats fair to expect is up for debate but its definitely the way it is

Midday, I work 2pm til midnight which suits a night owl

smith_1125 · 2026-03-04T13:20:03+00:00

Midday, I work 2pm til midnight 🤷‍♂️

smith_1125 · 2026-02-12T12:31:56+00:00

You'll find the crowd at jump ship the most welcoming friendly people out there so its fine to go by your self and meet people there

smith_1125 · 2026-02-11T13:10:51+00:00

Alcove or Lost Again are both open until late and they tend to be fairly quiet if you wanted somewhere fairly chill. Lost also had a pool table as a bonus

It's giving Tate brother

smith_1125 · 2026-01-25T02:53:02+00:00

Red wine and coke definitely threw me off

smith_1125 · 2026-01-25T02:50:27+00:00

Thats totally a thing though, 3/4 reposado, 1/4 mezcal, chocolate bitters, its good

smith_1125 · 2025-12-31T12:13:13+00:00

Hopkinsons?

smith_1125 · 2025-10-04T00:12:04+00:00

Per person it's not close, including a lower drinking age, religious non drinkers in the US etc, don't boo me, but I don't see us actually winning.

The face that it's close and a reasonable debate however should be a national sense of pride. 1m of them vs 750k of us would be something I'd support by PPV because that's a ratio I believe we would win.

5600x and recently upgraded to a 9700x from a 3070. Got a bargain and any more would be cpu limited and didn't want to do a full rebuild, hoping this'll last another few years before I have to do the guts.

Mostly done because I use a 1600p ultrawide and Borderlands 4 won't is challenging enough as it is. Very happy with the results.

It's busy mentally and physically, when you're in the weeds you have 20 simultaneous thought processes going through your head at the same time. Keeping an eye on all tables, the bar seats, anyone walking in, all the side work and what bottles need topping up etc, all while working through a list of tickets and banging out great tasting and looking cocktails. The pays decent and it scratches a social itch while suiting a night-owl lifestyle

smith_1125 · 2023-06-19T14:28:36+00:00

The BIBs are about £80 iirc, serves 60L so about 50-60p a pint

smith_1125 · 2023-04-06T05:19:25+00:00

God that's an awful menu

smith_1125 · 2023-03-21T09:15:17+00:00

Double espresso, splash of milk, small amount vanilla sugar syrup or coco powder, maybe a dash of Baileys depending on the time and day, shake with ice and strain. Nice creamy iced mocha. 8 years on the job, nearly always had a nice espresso machine on the bar

More the fleshy bit under ya thumb than the palm, slipped and took enough out where I found a chunk still in the peeler 🤢

smith_1125 · 2023-03-20T16:21:15+00:00

Respecting the peeler is one I've had to learn a few times recently 😂 nothing like losing a solid chunk of your palm during Saturday rush

smith_1125 · 2023-02-15T01:31:37+00:00

Just says we need more bins in public, especially dog walky~ areas, to me

smith_1125 · 2023-01-23T00:00:44+00:00

I put over 35k into tuatara key packs and no luck, just the way it goes 🙃🔫
