It’s me, your tender bartender here at The Bar None with another list of tips & changes.
What sets a good bartender apart from someone who just pours beer into your glass? Like i have a clue. i’m a better drink drinker than drink maker.
Still, i know what kind of bartender i’m trying to be here and i wrote them down because, well because i wouldn’t be able to remember my own name if i hadn’t had it tattooed upside down on my gut.
Having written it down, i figured i’d share it with y’all, fellow members of the D-Generation.
From the juiced-box and dedicated to bartenders everywhere…

Ahahaha love a good bartener
Kudos on this.
I love a good bartender and if they are attractive it a bonus bonus bonus. For the fist few minutes of sitting at the bar and the good bartender comes over, nothing else in the world matters except your interaction with your bartender. They set you up, talk you up a bit and then off to the next person who is anxiously awaiting their attention *to whom you nod at after they get there fix of b’tender attention) . You might not see them for another half hour or until you needed another drink, whichever came first, but it doesn’t matter. Because being made to feel that special for no other reason than sitting on a bar stool and ordering a drink is a beautiful thing.
Hope you are well!

Even if i’m not attractive, i hope i (and the peeps in your day-to-day) make you feel as special as you are.
Thanks for taking the tile to stop by and thanks for the kudos!

Here’s to hoping that a girlfriend/fiancée covers the top ten things a bartender does, too.
