Bartenders of reddit : what are the stereotypes that come with specific drinks people order ?

bartenders offered it what are the stereotypes that come with specific drinks people order Long Island iced teas rarely get tips and are almost always asked to make it strong it's nearly an entire cup of liquor how TF am I supposed to make it stronger we had a bar nearby that would guess your drink basically the bartender would profile you and try to figure out what you would order he would write it on the beer napkin thing and turn it over after you ordered if he got it wrong you got a tiny discount it was good fun vodka water with lime for the sorority girl who wants to cast calories then drinks eight of them and gets blackout pizza from the place next door once in Nick I overheard a dude ordering a seven C's turned out it's a splash of the first seven things that bartender sees yep instantly judged as an alcoholic oh my I need to what about some time as a grown man who would have Shirley temple's I can say the stereotype is usually that I'm joking I'm not I'm the designated driver too used to be a bartender in a pub in London typical pub you're selling a lot of beer the odd cider or glass of wine there was a local gangster type that even the other hard bastards in the pub used to be wary off but friendly enough guy but definitely not someone anyone wanted to be on the wrong side off he drank nothing but bright pink watermelon Bacardi breezers taught me not to judge I don't think I've had one of those since I was about 16 used to love those things from my experience if you order a Bud Light Miller Lite boot visor with a shot of bourbon or whiskey you probably work a manual labor intensive job at most older women want vodka with water tonic soda younger woman tend to water vodka with cranberry or sweeter mixed drinks younger men tend to order IPAs or craft beers I can always tell who just turned 21 due to all the complex sweet shots with fancy names being ordered old ladies that want to party usually start with margaritas I bought and on the weekends at a shot into beer spot so I don't get a lot variety a crap I'm an old lady margaritas are amazing Vegas bombs either having a great time and one guy's flexing cash with a bunch of friends will tip well or bag flexing cash around random people he barely knows will not tip well double brandy and coke means you're probably from South Africa or from Wisconsin old fart I know would mix drinks like that in the can he'd offer you a soda and tell you to suck some out of it so he can top it off with cobble or whatever cheap crap when a customer orders a fireball for himself a coke for his young friend some BJ shots for the two ladies with their boyfriends across the bar and two Cosmopolitan's for their boyfriends a dang cool bar fight is about to happen the woman who ordered a lemon drop is the only person to this day who has screamed at me at work so I'll say that's a drink for high-maintenance buttholes a lemon drop should be a happy drink maybe I'll order them more and spread kindness they want an expensive cocktail and when you tell the price they start arguing with you that it is way too expensive and that they can make it at home for half the price if they can make it at home for half the price well yep go home for during Manhattan's while in Nick because of the novelty not knowing that it's mostly bourbon then saying it's too strong Manhattan's on my favorite cocktail but I've never had one in Manhattan itself the fact that they are mostly bourbon is the appeal what about someone who orders a pickle juice shot hold the shot you get frequent cramps my city has a very fancy and TBF very good gin bar in at which stocks around 500 gyms and has become a huge destination for hips to tourists and gin obsessed moms it's used to be people coming to my bar would ask for a gin and tonic now people coming to my bar ask what gyms we haven't make me explain every ingredient in the philosophy behind every dang one before deciding so the stereotype in my city is you're either asking about gin which means you're a tourist Instagram nerd or you're complaining about everyone in front of you asking about gin in which case you're a local few weeks backer due to a second in line for 10 full minutes because a lady in front of him the history of East London batch two and he spent the whole time pulling faces at me over her shoulder moment he gets to the bar only thing he says is gin bar has a lot of freaking answer for gimme a damn beer add extra vodka to my drink I give them the bill why are you charging me for extra alcohol idiot Jack and Coke what does that say about me you'll be fighting someone in a few hours tended bar at a pan tropical Bistro when I was in graduate school naturally we had a few pre blended fruity frozen drinks which were typically served in a hurricane glass with garnishes one evening a very manly man ordered one we've requested that it not be served in a gay glass apparently real men drink there mango members in proper old fashioned glasses jaja bombs are ordered by students which just want to get flicked up ASAP me to judge ovens please barman it's three for a fiver me then I'll have 12 please I am from northern England for those wondering where to get cheap drinks p-star Martinez I'm going to be loud and obnoxious all night and my vomit is going to be near Norwich when I drank five of these any variety of Boilermaker guaranteed the customer is an alcoholic I had a guy who would regularly order 22 ounces bottles of some limited-run microbrew he preferred the beer poured over ice with a shot of vodka added he also didn't own a vehicle unless you count a bicycle as a vehicle he has to you voodoo a child my grandmother used to drink four Boilermakers a day garnished with a pack of cigarettes she had never learned to drive and had no intention of ever learning died at 96 from a black widow spider bite one Caucasian please neck bowed fedora dude ordered about ten white Russians from me one night and cooled them Caucasians every time while chuckling to himself every time he came up to the bar that guy definitely baths in his closet later Pina Colada you care more about flavor than image also want to be in the Caribbean can confirm that I am OS for coconut and I don't care sees my go-to is a bourbon old-fashioned a bartender once told me this means I'm an old woman from the South if you have a brandy old-fashioned year from Wisconsin I usually go up to the bartender and order a coke but make it look like an alcoholic drink I don't drink bartenders usually understand my plight thank you for letting me fit in my dad does this at business meetups he's a c-level guy and doesn't drink he's done this for decades he gets an ani Parma people assume it's a cocktail it's just he and lemonade Korres know this person is almost certainly a pain in the ass where I work if you usually mean soccer mom with bradan caden and ash Lane who's going to down three of them and not tip I used to work in a bar with an excellent real ale selection so of course we sold more calling than anything else always pillocks who would shout at the football while tearing up the car drink smash that I had to clean at the end of the night some would complain that we didn't sell enough real beer to freak them Long Island iced tea equals let's get freaked up fast old-fashioned equals either someone who knows their booze really well or not at all then they want to look sophisticated app Latin equals I'm away from the kids for the weekend Bush light equals hillbillies in small town folk vodka on the rocks equals someone who has been drinking long enough to enjoy the nasty burn off watered-down vodka double you know mixer I can't believe no one has mentioned a mijito I love gin tonic but my friends call me an old man when I order drink that trick them though gin and tonic is probably the third most popular drink in England after B aren t lit usually someone who wants to get drunk for cheap and is going to complain that the drink is not strong enough life pro tip for bartenders before serving fill the straw with well tequila you will never get another complaint about a week lit Long Island iced tea just want to get bent as quickly as possible we turned an outdoor shed into a tiki bar shortly after the smoking ban wi malibu gave us these little buckets to make fun fruity drinks in as a promotional thing i was 18 but knew the basics of bartending and three couples came in and asked for lit in those dang buckets of course I screwed up my alcohol portions because the drink is frickin straight booze in a bucket and all three couples went inside to complain to my manager about my drink making skills and the prices I charged we gave the buckets away to make sandcastles after that we also had a bartender who refused to make a Bloody Mary after 4 p.m. said it was a day drink martini shaken not stirred equals idiot who knows nothing about booze and definitely has no idea what they are ordering and will most likely not like it that said I'm pretty tolerant of most drink orders people are allowed to like what they like even if I don't share the same tastes guessing from the reactions I get when I order an old fashioned people expect those who drink it to never be old or a fan of Mad Men I'm neither old fashions are really big with the 28 - 35 year old crowd where I'm from question for bartenders deal you judge people who water soft drinks I usually end up being the driver but feel as though I'm getting judged by the staff customers at the bar for ordering a coke rather than a beer or something alcoholic even more so at a proper club rather than a regular bar heck no I had tons of respect for the DD when I was bartending would often even give them free soft drinks when their buddies were getting rounds if you pull up a drink you found on Pinterest and it has 25 steps and is more pretty than tasty I can tell already you are a future I want to speak to the manager type of norm I will never understand this just look around at where you are there are certainly bars that have crazy cocktails and often times specialize in them so they are going to have candied lemon peel and cotton candy and smoked banana leaves to make your drink that the corner pub is not prepared for your insane order just get a beer wine or a simple 2-3 ingredient drink know your surrounding you have been visited by the swell skeleton he'll give you good calcium if you subscribe in five seconds if you are new to the channel you can subscribe I publish new videos every day
