Weekly Questions at the Bar

1) Beer normally, but if i feel like getting shit-canned, usually bourbon cokes, double.
2a)no
2b)no
2c) and yes. I get hit on TONS as a GIS worker in an office environment.
3) This is probably a tie between the hooters in miami that we were thrown out of because a friend said it was "the flattest hooters he'd ever been in" and the sun-down saloon in boulder it is filled with annoying people who only drink pbr because it's seen as a bad beer, while i drink it because i actually like it.

I likes me my brew

1. Beer if I'm chilling, Gin and Tonic if I'm being a little classy and Long Island Iced Teas if it's one of THOSE nights.

2A. Nope.
2B. Nope.
2C. Bartending is a good one; I imagine any young person in an office full of older people gets hit on a lot, though.

3. I agree, Coyote Ugly sucks. Worst bar though, is either any NYC bar where the drinks run double digit dollars, or Subway, this one bar (I think it's closed now) that was just always packed with 14-17 year old girls. Ugh.

1. combo of draft beers and shots, like a 3-1 or 4-2 ratio.

2a. nope
2b. yeah but not at job, on leave from iraq, i was in uniform and met a chick at the vegas airport who was on my flight.

3. uhh as for worst bar, i cant really recall. have a question for the denver bars? are these shitty bars in the LoDo district cause im seein widespread/yonder there for new years and yeah im stayin downtown. suggestions?

1. I typically don't drink.

2A. I once visited my girlfriend on her first day at her job.

2B. I've been tempted, working late nights at a hot dog stand.

2C. I get hit on a lot when I'm selling hot dogs late at night by the bars. Drunk chicks will do almost anything for a free hot dog.

3. The sports bar that I work outside of at nights is pretty bad from the outside. I've never been inside, but the bartenders stink, the bouncers are overly agressive (like we're talking seeing guys dropped over the 4-foot deck and landing upside down), and the waitresses aren't even hot. But that doesn't stop me from selling them hot dogs, 'cause every three-dollar wiener counts.

1. Jack and Diet
2a. no
2b. lots of times but never as a bartender, waitress or bouncer and never on my first day
2c. I work in a prison...you decide.
3. Toronto....waiting for the comedy show to start (obviously not from around there)...local bar....rough crowd...so smoke-filled you couldn't see (and these fellas were smoking Pall Malls and shit)...They had approximately 5 liquors to choose from. Myself and my companions were the only females in the joint (did I mention I was wearing a red dress and heels?)...don't even make me relive the bathroom.

1. SoCo and coke or a screwdriver.

2a. No
2b. Yes. Dated a co-worker and a customer when I worked at Applebees.
2c. No. Though servers have to come pretty close. Never met any bouncers I thought were hot, but I'm weak when it comes to bartenders.

3. No. Been to some bars I won't go back to, but none that were bad enough to list.

1. Either: Maker's and Coke or Long Islands. Very rarely, I'll try some random mixed drink just because.

2a. Not on their first day
2b. Yes, while I was working the in a computer lab during college
2c. I can attest to Xavier's comment about working in an office with older people. Especially when you go drinking with the same older women.

3. To set the scene, one of the main drinking attractions in Louisville is a block called Fourth Street Live. It's basically a stretch of nothing but bars and restaurants; two floors. On the opposite side (Third Street), is a bar called Third Street Dive. It lives up to it's name. The place smelled like bleach, but it obviously wasn't used to clean anything. I accidentally moved their little game machine that was sitting on the bar and 3 cockroaches scuttled out from under it. We left then.

1. As a former bartender, I judge people on their drinks too. In my experience, chicks who drink whiskey are usually crazy. I stick to plain ole redneck goodness: Budweiser.

2a. Yes. I'm a huge fan of sleeping with coworkers.
2b. I have NEVER slept with a bar patron. Lots of bartenders, waiters, etc., but never anyone I on the other side of the bar from me. Dudes who hang out in bars for hours at a time five days out of the week are generally really creepy.
2c. I worked two jobs last summer: lifeguarding and bartending. No one gets hit on more than female lifeguards or bartenders.

3. If the bar sucks, I just drink more.

1. I do Makers on the rocks or draft beer. When I'm in a hurry to get drunk I order a shot of Jack and a Miller Lite to wash it down. Rinse and repeat until not sober.

2A. I don't think I've ever hooked up with a bartender, bouncer or waitress PERIOD.
2B. Does the internet count? Yes.
2C. Maybe a grocery store cashier? Nevermind, that was stupid.

3. I think I'm normally with LCD: if the bar sucks, you haven't consumed enough of their product yet. That being said, when the absolute cheapest beer on the menu comes to $5.50 or more ($5 is given a pass for a few clubs), it may become financially unrealistic to achieve unsuckiness.

1. Absolut, soda, lime Or Whiskey Soda. I hate tonic like it slapped my mom.

2a. I made out with Tim on his first day, it was hairy.

2b. I have hooked up with a few drunk chicks after workin at a bar, because let's face it they were drunk. My favorite line is "my friends left me can you give me a ride home?"

2c. I'm pretty sure strippers get hit on more than bartenders.

3. The worst bar i've ever been in is The Purple Martini in Denver. Just from the name you know it's gonna be wall to wall douche nuggets, and it doesn't disappoint.

1. Straight shots of Makers Mart or really anything set in front of me. Most bars don't serve Beast Light which makes me angry.

2a. I gave a bar tender a ride home once after blacking out. I woke up in her house the next day so I guess it probably happened.

2b. I work at a video store, so it's only single ugly chicks or girls in relationships.

2c. When I worked for a telephone survey company, I had many women tell me I had a sexy Sean Connery voice. I don't know if being hit on via the phone counts.

3. The worst bar I've been to was called the Dog Haus and I think they held dog fights in the basement because after buying two shots I was asked to leave because the bar was closing. It was only 10:30 at night.

1. Depends on the mood of the evening, but probably a double jack on the rocks, keep 'em coming...

2a. never hooked up with a bartender, bouncer, or waitress
2b. Yes, when I was a camp counselor. I have a fond memory of having sex 1 time in a patch of poison ivy - I'm immune to poison ivy, she wasn't...
2c. I used to get hit on a lot when I spent a summer working on a major trading floor - lots of cougars

3. gotta go with ErinH on this one - been to plenty of shitty bars, but none so epically shitty that it's worth noting

1.I usually drink beer or vodka tonic
2. I hooked up with a bartender, he was hot
I've never hooked up with anyone I met at my work, mainly cause our customers are usually special needs people (they seem to like movies).
3. the worst bar I've ever been to was some random bar in mexico, it was sketchy as fuck and beer was like 60 cents...
it was a great night though.
