Yesterday turned out to be a busy one at the bar as we hosted not one, but TWO events: A Spartan Race Information Session (for the upcoming race in Brooklyn on August 15th), and a Brooklyn Summer Ale promo. Between the two events (which took place simultaneously), we had a pretty full house.
A lot of folks signed up for the Race and from what it sounds like, this should be a pretty cool event. If you haven't had a chance to check out the Spartan Race, click on the link and learn more about the event. It's not your average 5k race, that's for sure! REMEMBER: if you decide to take part in the race, remember to enter "IWILL" in the entry code- $10 of your entry will be donated to Matt Long's "I WILL FOUNDATION".
When I arrived for the start of the evening, I was pleasantly surprised to see a familiar face relaxing at the bar: NICOLE POWELL of the NY Liberty. She had just finished playing a matinee game at Madison Square Garden and was on her way home when she decided to pop in on a whim. She ended up chatting it up with some of the locals, including Matt Long and left with a good impression of the bar. Very nice young lady. She is definitely tall, that's for sure!
PET PEEVE of the NIGHT: Of course, while the night overall was a good one, there's always something that happens to make you want to cringe. In this case, it's the drunken semi-regular who makes it a point to make an ass of himself because he's too drunk to get served.
It's one thing when you're a friend of the bar and you've had too much to drink and you're politely cut off. It's another thing entirely when you stagger into the bar from god-knows-where and throw a fit when the doorman and the bartenders refuse to serve you because you've clearly had more than a few. And it's downright vexing and annoying when you begin to piss and moan and call my staff names and try name-dropping the owners name, expecting to have the red carpet roll out for you after that. All that does is cement your status as a rude, whiny, crass buffoon. And while you may wake up this morning thinking all is well with the world, please note: bartenders have great memories. So do doormen. Nuff said.
Enjoy the weekend and remember, if you're in the neighborhood, feel free to stop by for a cold one! For weekend happenings, go to our website!
That's It. That's All I Got.
