Stories From Bartenders

bartenders are the storytellers of our generation. these bards of brew operate in the rarest of circumstances: they witness all manner of gyrating, drunken revelry day in and day out while (mostly) sober. this unique position gives them more insight into the boiled down truths of the human condition than most realize. they get yelled at, chewed out, hit on, antagonized, demonized, “give-me-free-shit”-inized, “i-can’t-taste-the-booze-in-this”-inized while serving as a lightning rod for their customers frustrations, failures, ineptitudes and insecurities. in short, they give us booze and watch us go. alcohol reveals the barbarism in human nature. it magnifies belligerence, amplifies ignorance and generally results in hilarious and widespread buffoonery. and bartenders observe it all. we want to show them they’re not alone. our mission is to share these stories, quotes and experiences from bartenders all over the country. please help us spread the word to your local industry crew by shari
