Wisconsonites believe Old Fashions should be made with brandy, their arguments are invalid. Traditional Old Fashions nshould showcase American made whiskey, especially ryes.

nope, it happens every day. usually i just give them a blank stare until they realize just how asinine of an answer they just gave me. we have 24 on tap, and over 75 different types in bottles. i got less than a 1/100 chance of guessing correctly.

good question; if it gets to that point probably both of us.

If it’s on the menu, order it; if it’s a standard but time consuming drink, order it (I don’t like making old fashioneds, but i’ll happily make one if you order it; the only thing i will refuse to make during busy times is a box-car, because i don’t have egg whites handy). I have no problem making these things, but…

Please, please, please, for the love of God do NOT under any circumstances bang your hand/empty glass on the bar; that is the fastest way to ensure you get served last.

not at all. in fact the people who have free refills/waters make my job way easier, especially if you’re with a group that’s drinking. i try to be as friendly as possible to these people so if their friends start acting up i can immediately look to you to help out.

tip-outs go a long way...as a bartender i used to tip out my cooks, runners, bouncers, and whoever else made my job easier. it’s amazing how many “extras” i would get with my shift meals, how many times a bouncer would send their friends to me and tell them to tip well, and how fast my stations beer/liquor would get…
