at the bar 2023

objectifying service employees (even -- especially? -- with a pseudonym on a message board) is a violation of the social contract and i am not here for it

Porter deep dive

yuppies and fags like me, good god i’ve been here too long lmfao

Trans support bud light buycott in progress

“I have no idea what I’m doing here what’s going on?”

mantra: remember tomorrow

In place of a buy back, the bartender offered me a shot. “No thanks” I waived him off. “Coffee?” He offered. I shook my head. “You don’t like coffee?”

Cooped up with the flu since Wednesday, finally back on the beat today

During the pandemic it was standing room only outside and I’m keeping the habit

The flying insect that I saved from drowning in my beer and then flicked off my table is now heroically climbing up the wall drunk off its ass
#survivor

Bartender tells me I’m “going for a record” but he is misinformed

The insect you saved is probably dead now

older guy hitting on me claims to have been the second to last king of Iraq in a past life. his son was the last. he's never heard of Archy & Mehitabel. "sounds Kafkaesque"

Sounds like a good time to go to the next bar

I’ve been standing around lately but some songs when they come on just crush me and force me into a seat

like what?

xp yep, i humored him while covertly texting my tardy pal to meet at a different bar. the guy was drunk tbf.

I was at an oyster bar 2nite and the bartender bought my second beer so I could power through the rest of the dozen, it was heaven

Oysters and beer is a heavenly combination

You answered yourself in your previous post iirc

Hahaha

ordered a glass of the jura 16 year and did not expect the pricetag but i have no regrets

Bartender: “How about a sh0t?”
Client: “Sure!”
B: “what’s your poison?”
sanding ensues

Bartender realized she overcharged me and gave me back the difference
“I wasn’t going to say anything”

i’m back

Went to a bunch of bars on a recent trip, including some hotly tipped ones like Shapes for a Name in London. Many were good, a few were great. Our favorite was a place called Brettos in Athens, which is gorgeous for one thing but also kind of funky and laidback. They make their own ouzo, brandy, etc.

Apparently a year and a half ago there was such a surplus of business that this bouncer felt the need to keep me out of the bar based on how I was unsteadily walking down the street. Now I just ignore him

Tuesday going on Friday

I like a bartender who will just let a $20 sit on the bar. No hurry

“I’ve seen you here before, at the bar sneaking chips from your shopping bag”

I am at the bar I worked at 20 years ago and just noticed they put in a new floor. 2 Hearted Ale is $3.75 now.

$3.75? I’ll have 10

ikr

How much is a gin and tonic in your bars? I live near a pub but don't drink that often. They're the sort that always give you a premium brand little can of tonic even though it's too much for one gin. Anyway last time I went in it was £7.75 ffs (that's nearly $10).

that sounds pretty normal to me. the price ultimately depends on the type of gin.

This question piqued my curiosity so I just ordered a Tanqueray & tonic at my local in Brooklyn and it cost $14 (before tip). This is not a fancy bar btw, in fact it’s modeled after a Liverpool pub.

Yup $12 and up
