Bartenders spend much of their time, well, behind bars. They make drinks, make jokes and make you feel welcome, even when you ve had too much. The good ones do, anyway. In the Behind Bars series, we give barkeeps a chance to speak their mind. This week, we catch up with Society Hill Hotel's Bob Bannon, who tells us why bartending is the best job for musicians, the importance of making concise decisions and the real reason why bartenders enter the trade.
It s more like where haven t I served. Copa , Sugar Moms , Tattooed Moms , Independence Brew Pub, Khyber , Pontiac Grill and Tangier . Those are just a few of places I ve worked. I also guest bartend at the Ugly American travel to thailand every third Saturday.
I guess it s being into music that s responsible for me being in this business. I can t think of any other career that would give me the flexibility to go tour Europe with Mudhoney, and then a couple travel to thailand weeks let me come back to work.
Back in the 90s when the cash was still flowing, there was a group of us - five bartenders - that each kicked in $100 and we would go around to each other's bars and keep passing along the same $500 tip. We would show up, tip the bartender $500 and then the next night that bartender would tip the next guy, and so on.
Working in a bar. That and it seems like every bar I ve worked in has had things break all the time, so I m always fixing shit. I don t know if it s like that for every bartender, but I tend to wear many hats.
Patience! It has nothing to do with making drinks. That s what s so funny about bartending schools. They don t teach anything practical about bartending, they just show you how to mix colored liquids.
