A tip for a tip

Tip from the other side of the bar: When someone asks what kind of bottled beer you have, don't point to a row of empties on display. Even if you have to rattle off a few, or show a list if it's available, or even ask what the person is looking for. There is a great local restaurant, it serves creative and delicious meals. The bartender sucks. Not only does he give "the point" but he'll ignore you at the bar (which only seats about 12) until he's ready to serve you. A tip? Get a new bartender.

Successful Bartending

Where did I go wrong? Instead of going to college and drinking maybe I should've studied the bartender's guide.

A very successful bartender uses her culinary skills to make unique drinks and win a contest for the best Bacardi Rum Mojito. Learn more about her creative drinks that won the "mixology" contest. They sound like healthy alcoholic smoothies to me...

A Review: Ice Chest, Nice Chest?

So about a year ago, a bar & grille opened up in my town called Ice Chest. I have been a few times with friends for drinks, the food and atmosphere were good. There is a deck out back with the propane patio heaters, t.v.'s all around and music. It has something for everyone. The only thing I noticed that didn't seem quite right was that most of the female bartenders and wait staff had on shirts that said Nice Chest. Being female, I thought the shirts were amusing and in private may sport one, but the general consensus was that not one of the girls had a nice chest. If you're feeling curious, check out the site and "meet the staff" or see "what's hot" and decide for yourself...the menu looks good.
