Experience:
3.5 years: 3 years at Jazz Estate and 6 months cocktail waitressing at Centanni.
Favorite Drink to Drink:
Rehorst Vodka Dirty Martinis or Bushmills ... we do a lot of shots here.
Favorite Drink to Serve:
Rehorst Martinis, especially for people who have never had one before.
Why Bartending?
The owner [here] needed a cocktail waitress, so he asked me. The waitresses automatically learn to bartend here, so I kind of fell into it.
If not Bartending:
I’m a student, so bartending is perfect. If I wasn’t bartending, unfortunately I’d probably working in fast food or something.
Ideal Night Out:
Being with friends and getting a good buzz going. And live music has become a big thing, too, since working here.
Pet Peeves:
Honestly, here we don’t have many problems, but sometimes we have people who are really into the band and tell them so on stage ... definitely had some musicians kiss before.
Craziest Night Behind the Bar:
One person got a little tipsy and was dancing with everyone along the bar, then tried to come behind the bar and dance with me.
Philosophy Behind the Bar:
Be attentive and get to know your customers. My Thursday night customers are some of the best people I know.
