Painkiller one of the best winter cocktails. Makes me always want to have ginger-honey syrup on hand. It's honestly the only reason I have scotch in the house.

During my stint at a Manchester pub I legit had to tell the wife of one of the regulars “haven’t seen him” multiple times (while he was sitting at the bar of course). Felt like I was in an Andy Capp strip.

Got right and ripped last Saturday at one of my favorite bars, it changed hands (to one of the bartenders) during the early pandemic and it was my first time back. Basically the same place, but less crusty— same basic vibe tho.

The owner of my bar gets on extended stretches where his after service drink is a White Russian with the vodka replaced by Skrewball. He calls it a Nutty Russian and I let him have his fun without commentary.

I don't get this tipping 50% business. So you've paid the price of six drinks, have been served four drinks, and are hoping for the bartender to graciously serve you a fifth drink?

Classic or dud: bartenders who offer shots in lieu of buybacks
― calstars, Wednesday, 27 December 2023 22:41 (one year ago)
Depends on the shot I suppose:something tasty that I've never had before or wouldn't have ordered myself = classicMy choice = oddly transactional but still coolSomething gross like jager= dud***Bonus points*** if the bartender does a shot with you
When I bartended at a chain restaurant in the 90s, a cocktail waitress once told me a previous bartender there would make a special shot called the "fuck in the forest" for annoying drunks asking for free drinks at the end of the night - he would just dump the bar mats' contents into a shaker with ice and strain them into shot glasses.
