The Candy Man Can

As the hectic holiday season approaches, please be sure to take extra precaution. You just may want to carry a 2 ft. candy cane for self protection from other drunk individuals. Who actually decorates with oversized candy other than Willy Wonka, you ask? Click here to read the sweet story.

Sour Happy Hour

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 00:14:00 +0000

Will cutting out happy hour or raising the price on alcohol result in less drinking? I don't think so. Hopefully the US won't pick up on this trend. If the prices of drinks in bars go up does that mean tips go down? To read on how the experts want to lesson alcohol misuse read this.

Walk of Shame?

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 23:42:00 +0000

All of us ladies love to go out, but hate walking around in stilettos after a long night and too much to drink. The worst is when you have a far walk and all you want to do is take off your shoes. Your feet are aching and you can barely walk a straight line with or without the alcohol. Giving free flip flops to drunk women after the bar closes to walk steadily in sounds like a fantastic idea to me. If you want to know more click here. Let me know what you think about police passing out flip flops to make your walk a little more comfortable.

A tip for a tip

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:28:00 +0000

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.

Blue Motorcycle?

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Thu, 13 Nov 2008 13:39:00 +0000

Have you ever gone into a bar and ordered a signature drink from another bar? This past summer I had two college students living with me. A guy from Virginia Tech and a girl from Ithica College. All summer I heard about one of his favorite mixed drinks from school, the Blue Motorcycle.
The night before he moved out, we went to a local bar, a dive like any other. I could no longer avoid the Blue Motorcycle. The three of us sit down and he orders three of the famous drink. The bartender gives us a blank stare, as if she's never been asked to make a drink she didn't know how to pour. He told her what was in it, she made it. It sucked. If you are interested in enjoying a Blue Motorcycle click here for the ingredients.

I'll never drink again...

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Tue, 11 Nov 2008 03:06:00 +0000

Ever wake up in the morning hungover, making deals with a higher power, that you'll never drink again? I really mean it this time.

Well it appears that a New Jersey Councilman made the same plea, only this time after urinating on other concert-goers. Read this article before you pour yourself another drink. I feel for him, the lines for the bathroom at concerts are way too long anyway and Port-a-Potties are over-rated.

Successful Bartending

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

Dude, where's my car?

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Fri, 07 Nov 2008 03:34:00 +0000

I hate when you leave a bar (or anywhere for that matter) and you cannot remember where you parked your car. What's worse is when you get into the car, drive half way home, get pulled over and swear to the police that you're driving your own car, only to find out it's a completely different make and model than the one you own...try to get out of that one.

Don't try this at home (or the bar)

I don't watch much t.v. but this video caught my attention. It seems Sharon and The Hoff are convinced. Forgive me, but what role did the "little person" have in this talent act? Note to self: Do not bring a chainsaw into the bar to attempt this magic trick.

A Review: Ice Chest, Nice Chest?

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 00:31:00 +0000

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.

My favorite beer...this season

noreply@blogger.com (Martini) — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:33:00 +0000

This blog got stale. I'm taking over because bartendermagic.com's main bartender doesn't seem to have the time. For my first post I'm going to tell you about my favorite seasonal beer. Shipyard Brewing Co. makes a pumpkin beer that tastes like dessert. Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale is only available September through October, so stock up. Click here to learn more.

Do you have a taste for the finer things in life but your wallet likes the cheap stuff. Well Jon Sarriugarte has figured out a way to keep you AND your wallet happy. As long as you have a luminous transformer [whatever the fuck that is] in your basement that is. Personally I hope he markets a cheap consumer version of this puppy because otherwise we may have a bunch of dead brandy drinkers found with hair dryers in their glasses.

The Guide to Getting, Preparing, and Drinking Absinthe

noreply@blogger.com (bartendermagic.com) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 06:07:00 +0000

After having a few glasses of Absinthe from an $80 bottle with my roommate I was feeling pretty O.K. This stuff isn't half bad. I'd just hate to have to serve this at a bar. Not only would it be time consuming but you know there'd be some asshole who had to have his just so! You know, just like that customer who feels he knows how to make a martini better that anyone. The guy who tells you that the drop of bitters was too big. This same guy will be telling you that you're pouring the absinthe too fast or too slow, that the sugar cube is too big, that the perforations in the spoon aren't far enough apart etc.. I digress. It's a good drink and this is some good info

What's Worse Than Having a Spray Can Stuck In Your Rectum?

noreply@blogger.com (bartendermagic.com) — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 01:38:00 +0000

Put yourself in this situation for a moment. You go out to celebrate on New Years Eve and get incredibly drunk. You figure the New Year's off to a good start and then you score a one night stand. Wow, this is going to be a great year. But then the next thing you remember is having an incredible abdominal pain. You go to the emergency room and are horrified to find out you have a 6 inch spray can of body spray stuck way up your rectum. Well, that pretty much fucks up the whole year for you. You figure, "what could be worse than that? Life's going to be a breeze now.". No matter what happens, you can always say "Well, it's not as bad as that time I woke up with a can in my ass." A few days later you're surfing youtube and find out that life CAN get worse. The doctors who removed the can from your can, filmed it. Wait, wait it gets worse. They filmed it with an audience in the room. Hold on, it still gets worse. Everyone in the room is laughing and making jokes at your expense and some of them are even taking pictures with their cellphones. Then, the doctor who pulls out the can uncaps it and sprays himself and everyone else in the room to cheers and even more laughter.

Believe it or not, I didn't make this nightmare up. Read the whole store AND see the video of it here.
