The Pickup line, I've heard them all.  Being a bartender definitely has its privileges.  As I've stated earlier we get to see and hear everything. One such observation, albiet extremely humorous as time passes and more alcohol is consumed, is the mating ritual of the homosapien. The mating ritual generally begins immediately upon entry into the bar.  First off we all need to check out the scene. Don't kid yourself we all do it, guys, girls, bartenders, servers, busboys, doorman, the DJ etc.  Anyone drinking, working or sometimes both, does it. We need to see who's available,...

With spring in the air and the beautiful weather forecast for this weekend, many people's thoughts turn to outdoor pursuits, such as golf. Just make sure you know the rules, breaking them could create a much higher penalty than you are prepared to pay!!

A great question that came in via one of our awesome Drink Guy Fan Page fans! "When watching sports at home, as opposed to the "rowdy" nature of a stadium, sports fans may have the smallest amount of shared company but also the greatest degree of freedom. This is sometimes where the most intense cheering or jeering will take place among particularly devoted sports fans...depending on the company they keep for such an event. In the case of particularly frustrating and disappointing moments in sport for such a fan, is it appropriate for such extreme reactions as punching a hole in the wall...

As a bartender I've seen my fair share of people, and if someone wants great service, they need to know what Bar Etiquette is all about.  It amazes me how rude some people can be, or how bent out of shape they get if you're not "on top of them'.  There are other people here, not just you. By definition etiquette means conventional requirements as to social behavior; proprieties of conduct as established in any class or community or for any occasion. Etiquette has to do with good manners. It's not so much our own good manners, but making other people feel comfortable by the way we...

The Bartender and the Life Coach are back, this time dealing with the question of how to handle the issue of alcohol within a relationship.

In this Episode of The Drink Guy TV, the Bartender and the Life Coach have been asked by a young man who wants to enjoy a successful relationship but is struggling with the demands of his significant other. The young man in...

Flaming drinks definitely pleases all due to its showmanship.  All alcohol's burn, usually a bright blue flame, however some better than others.  The higher the percentage or proof the better it lights.  Most cream based liqueurs, not so much so.  So don't waste your time on them. This is all about the show, and done right will have anybody eating out of your hands.  Some quick notes, make sure to extinguish the flame before you drink, it will burn all the way down.  Alcohol burns hot so don't use a cold glass, a sudden change in temperature could crack/ shatter the glass and ruin...
