There doesn’t seem to be a standard regarding what liquors go where on bar shelves. At this place the whiskeys are on the top right and the vodkas on the bottom left, whereas at a place a block away it’s reversed

two weeks pass...

Bartended at an actual bar for the first time in my life last night. It was insanely busy— it’s an outdoor bar garden, and yesterday was a glorious day in my area— so I feel absolutely worn to pieces today, but there were five bartenders on deck and total tips came to something like 1370 dollars, so that rules. Once a week for the rest of the summer, if anyone comes to Philly I’ll make you a Paloma.

Thank god for a new chill regular where the bartender knows what a buyback is

Aren’t you the cunt who called me a miserable asshole?

calstars, Saturday, 2 July 2022 02:35 (two years ago)

I was at The Saloon in North Beach years ago, and watched a small cockroach climbing each bottle beneath the bar for a taste... he finally settled on the Drambuie, not a bad choice as far as sweet goes

Huge drops of condensation keep falling on my beer belly each time I have a sip lol

Ngl, despite everything (including a husband who hates that I work a bar once or twice a week) , I’m excited to go into the bar tonight

LFG

calstars, Friday, 8 July 2022 22:26 (two years ago)

Slammed again at the bar, just an insane night. Seems like it will be a repeat tonight— best moment was when I let a guy try the two beers we have on draught and he then tipped $13 on a $7 pint. I asked him what was up, and he said, “I’m having a good night, you should too.”

Here’s to newbie bartenders who don’t know a buy back from their uncle

calstars, Saturday, 6 August 2022 22:25 (two years ago)

I met a friend I hadn't seen in ~12 years in bars two nights in a row this week.

One of my semi-regulars is a local cop who got obliterated last night. While he was working on that, every story he told was about getting obliterated in the D.R. on vacation, getting obliterated in Mexico on vacation, getting obliterated at a buddy's house, helping another buddy get obliterated on his 21st birthday, etc. He took it reasonably well when I cut him off but I'll have my guard up with him from now on. Also, the fucker tipped 5% on a $124 tab.

I'm going to avoid going to the bar tonite so I don't ruin the weekend.

I've only worked the door a few times, but I keep a match at the side of my mouth.. to look far tougher than I actually am

There weren’t enough coat hooks under the bar because the lady on her laptop couldn’t move down one seat despite having the space so I put my coat on a seat and some douche spilled beer on it and venmod me $30

calstars, Friday, 16 December 2022 02:13 (two years ago)

I have a lot of issues with coats and bars. I can’t put my coat on the stupid hook underneath the bar because my coat is long and it will drape onto the floor. So people always say, put your coat over the seat. Well fuck that, I don’t want strangers sitting on my coat. I respect my garments. I think less of any bar, and especially any restaurant, that doesn’t have normal coat hooks or a coat rack. Unacceptable!

Josefa, Friday, 16 December 2022 03:38 (two years ago)

Wait why would strangers be sitting on your coat if it's on your seat

change display name (Jordan), Friday, 16 December 2022 04:46 (two years ago)

You step away from it for a moment for whatever reason and then someone will just sit down on it. Some people never look down or just disregard whatever is on the seat they want to sit down on.

Josefa, Friday, 16 December 2022 04:52 (two years ago)
