Maybe it’s my breath…

I have a great crowd of regulars when martinis are half-off on Tuesdays. People sit at the bar and order different specialty cocktails like the Dirty Burn, Kings and Littles, or great classics like the Original Manhattan. They talk about their drinks–which is their favorite, which ones they want to try next. Others come in every night and order the same thing, knowing they can count on it. Unbeknownst to the happy hour crowd, they leave at 8pm without realizing they can still get the same great deal on martinis and Manhattans all night long.

I’m making the official announcement: The deals don’t stop with happy hour. You can stick around for that extra Mango Martini or John Wayne every Tuesday! The siren song of half-off martinis calls you. It caaaaaalls yooouuu…

Rain? Pfah!

I was a little apprehensive about Tuesday Half-Off Martini/Manhattan night– what with all the rain forecast. Since a large portion of our clientele is pedestrian traffic, I wondered if I’d be sitting alone staring at the rain while experimenting with new cocktails (trying them all, naturally. I wouldn’t want to give customers anything of which I didn’t approve. Of course, I’d experiment with a few shots of Buffalo Trace neat to make sure they meet my exacting standards). Fortunately my fears were unfounded, as group after group piled in shaking off the rain elbowing up to the bar. I saw a few new faces as well as many comfortable regular ones, and the night sailed by.

For some reason however, everyone seemed to say, “Hey Dave, wanna shot?” Do I really look like I need a drink all the time? Whatever look it is I’m giving people that inspires them to want to provide me with booze, I need to isolate and practice it for when I go out on my nights off…
