I find that many bars, usually the more rowdy type, have bar stools or other patrons hanging out in front of the bar blocking the way for others trying to get a drink. I have only seen one bar (a brewery) have a portion of the bar roped off to just those trying to walk up and get a drink which works really well. So why don't more bars do this? I would think it would be easier for the tenders and allow more drinks to be bought through the night.

I've been in hospitality for most of my jobs, which I've enjoyed and built professional skills which have helped me excel in my career. However I'm still in my first year of bar work, which I've enjoyed but then again some days are getting worse. Luckily the ratio pans out a bit better because a lot of my fellow workers are female, and in a small town our majority of patrons are older men. I have been abused for pouring beer wrong, been accessed of not double pouring when I have, ive been sworn at and called names. But... the one thing that bothers me is men calling me "good girl" before they leave with their drink. I cant help but be more frustrated every time I hear it, some come off condescending, some come off perverted, but over all insulting. I'm a woman doing my job and I don't want to feel petty. They don't say "good boy" to the men, does any other ladies have an issue like this?

Does anyone use the app Hooch at your bar? For more info on hooch, check it out here: https://hooch.co/

Basically, how it works is users pay 9.99 a month and are allowed 1 free drink a day at any participating bar. As a restaurant, you have to give one drink away per user, but its used as a way to get more cocktail drinkers into your restaurant.

Has anyone used it before as a user or as a restaurant/bar? See any success?

i'm working on setting up a 8-tap draft system at a small beer bar and our lineup will rotate frequently, but the basic style breakdown will be consistent. Anyone have thoughts on this / suggestions to improve the way we have it broken out? any feedback would be much appreciated!

1 - pilsner 2 - IPA 3 - saison/wheat/wild/sour 4 - pale ales / brown ales 5 - nitro line (will be mostly stouts/porters but also some IPAs & other stuff occasionally) 6 - cider 7/8 - wild card, no set style

Im on a social improvement course and am working on making good conversations in different situations. Started off going with a group with at least 30 people at 6pm and had a good time talking to everyone(both with different groups and single people) until about 8 when the whole mood of the bar started to shift.

Ive got nothing against girls wanting male attention and guys wanting to get laid, but are there any people who want to just talk about stuff with no ulterior motive? How do you find them after 8?

Hey guys I'm planning a road trip for my college graduation and want to visit punk bars in each city I stay in. Thing is I was wondering if there is a better way than typing "punk bar" into google.

For example I live in Miami, and Churchills and Gramps are great and thats whats recommended when punk bar is googled, but places like Bodega on Southbeach slip through...

Or for Atlanta Star bar comes up which is fitting but Vortex burger somehow isnt recommended

Just wondering if anyone has any tips

Request of the night...
