I had shots for the first time in three years on Friday for the last stop of our local village pub crawl. Russian Roulette - shot of vodka, topped with a lemon slice, topped with a little sugar, topped with a little 151 proof rum. Light it on fire and when the flames die down, you shoot the shot and suck on the lemon. I had two of them at the end of a few hours of drinking and it took me two days to recover. Might be six years until I have another.

Had two nights out at bars within the last week. Each time I met a friend at a bar, where we had one drink and then moved to another (less-crowded) bar for two more drinks. It was like pre-pandemic times.

I worked St P’s day, known cursed day for service employees, and it wasn’t that bad? Only two people even acknowledged the holiday and it was to order whiskey. That’s ok w me.

Normal Friday night at my work. We had a green beer special but it didn't make us busier.
― The Terroir of Tiny Town (WmC), Monday, 20 March 2023 15:31 (one year ago) link
Yeah we were normal busy & the show brought in the “vaping weed in the bathroom” crowd so maybe it was on account of that. The weirder thing was that the next night I had a table that camped out all night, supported by a regular who secured the table for them by slipping a hundo to the owner to give to the pool (we pool tips). At that table there were 3 middle aged ppl and then their adult sons joined them and they were wearing green plastic beads. Who does that the day after St P’s day? Even if they went to a party why keep the beads on?!? Anyway it boosted my total and I was grateful.

At the Minneapolis airport bar 2023
Ordered a Premo and a sandwich. Both were delicious. Then the bartender informs me that he brought me the wrong sandwich and then brings me a second, correct sandwich. I take this as a sign and order another Premo.

Remembered last night that working weekend means sometimes ppl show up already several drinks deep to wasted. I’d never serve anyone who was obviously impaired but it’s hard to tell sometimes. Last night this lady (late 50s?, spoke at top volume 100% of the time, talked my ear off about Edgar Winter??) and a man who appeared to possibly be her internet date (a little younger, asked for MGD) showed up and were among the last people to leave the place. She went up to go to the bathroom and he strolled directly out of the building and left. I went home before she came back so idk what happened to her. Now I’m lightly haunted by it. This doesn’t happen to me much but it does happen.
― Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Sunday, 26 March 2023 19:11 (one year ago) link
People occasionally show up wasted during the week too but more when we’re open later.

Classic or dud: bartenders who offer shots in lieu of buybacks
― calstars, Wednesday, 27 December 2023 22:41 (eight months ago) link
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.
