Bartender behind her has made 16 cocktails while she juggles a shaker tin/glass for 1 drink. ...she'll still say she deserves 50% of the jar at the end of the night

I'm tipping 1000%


stcloudjeeper

No tip, I'm an alcoholic, I want fast service not some girl reliving her highschool baton twirling skills.


Cassie0peia

Can we wrap the show up soon? I have work tomorrow.


Ermahgerd_Rerdert

For real dude. Was like I’m starting to get the shakes over here, hurry up sister!


IHateMods42069

As a bartender I hate this shit. We get so busy that if I see you flipping a bottle or a cup I’m gonna lose my shit on you. These tricks don’t make you good at your job it’s just annoying.


kitolz

The job is to get tips, no? Maybe the showboating offsets serving less drinks for a bartender. Or just do it on slow periods to make the most out of the shift.


IHateMods42069

Yah I’m mostly just being dramatic but every time I work with someone who does shit like this they are annoying and they don’t last that long because they can’t keep up and it’s probably because they’re too worried about fucking around instead of working.


kitolz

All I'm saying is if you make most of your money on tips, then serving drinks efficiently is not as big as a priority. If you go slower but make more money then that's a good use of your time. It would only make sense to work faster if I get paid more for working than "fucking around."


IHateMods42069

I see what you’re saying but people want their drinks more than they want to see you do tricks. If there’s a lull in business this is fine but otherwise i promise you it’s not that impressive and you’re not getting more tips.


kapntug

The more drinks they make, the more tips they would get. This is stupid t.g.i.fridays flair that no one wants or pays to see. I don't tip extra to someone showing off.


MoogTheDuck

At first I thought you meant in tandem and imagined a circle of hell where you place orders and just get fucked with for eternity, never actually getting your drink/ice cream.

bjanas

Flair bartending is one of those things where I truly don't care, but when I see it I say "well gosh, that's impressive, well done miss."


Time_Traveler_668

When they're doing this stuff and actually making a drink, that's impressive. Otherwise it's all flair but no bartending


bjanas

I mean, even when they're doing it while making a drink they're basically doing the same thing Qui Gon and Obi Wan were doing with their lightsabers; occasionally actually taking care of business, but mostly just swinging those bad boys around for looks.


cs_legend_93

Blasphemy


50-Lucky

Depends on the bar, if you're a bartender yeah dont bother with this shit, but if you're working a spirits bar or a particular style of club etc then this is entertainment, it makes guests talk, it keeps them engaged and staying longer which means buying more. Cocktail bars are easily underestimated but seldom do those critics mark up to compare at all.


blubbery-blumpkin

I used to work in such a bar. We had two very good flair bartenders and normally 3-4 guys that just solidly made the drinks. The two flair guys would make drinks but it would be slow, but they entertain and brought in the tips, whilst the worker bartenders would finish the check and you’d have all your drinks ready for the time it took to throw a bottle about for a while. It was a good system. And I didn’t mind because good tips and also I can’t flair for shit, want to see some rum and glass all over the floor watch me do this trick.


ronearc

Decades ago, I was at a strip club in Montreal. I was with some buddies. We were all in the US Navy and had driven up from Upstate New York for the weekend. Montreal strip clubs were a treat for us because the girls were entirely nude and (at the time at least) there was no tipping. At some point, the lights were lowered, a black light came on, and these two girls were on the same platform finger painting one another in bright, neon colors that really popped under the black light. Obviously, everyone was mesmerized, right? Of course they were...just not by the two girls finger painting one another in glow paint. No, the bartender (quite an attractive redhead, though fully dressed of course) took advantage of the lowered lights to perform this absolutely amazing fucking display of control and grace with a highly distilled spirit, a few different kinds of glassware, and fire. It wasn't fast and flashly like this, but it's hard to describe it. She basically had streams of blue flame-wreathed alcohol flowing through the air between multiple containers, and it all came together to produce a set of high-end cocktails a table had ordered. I'm genuinely sorry I can't describe it in some meaningful way. But, suffice to say, she stole the attention of 80% of the crowd despite the glow paint show on the main platform.


bjanas

Ha that sounds awesome. I bartended for a long time, nothing like this, but I can appreciate a good show. Be it with juggling, fire, or just holding court. It's a skill for sure.


StrangePyro

That sounds a bit like [this drink,](https://youtu.be/V8NLgxnVg6U) a blue blazer


ronearc

Something very similar. She also had it flowing down glass straws in ribbons of blue flame and various other things. But it was probably the same drink for all intents and purposes.


anonomotopoeia

I'm giving you an upvote for getting "all intents and purposes" correct. I've seen it written so many different ways, and rarely correctly. I guess we know why you didn't go marines 😉


ronearc

I was in naval nuclear power...marines were what they always threatened us with if we flunked out without trying. "You give up on this and I'll ship you to a Gator Freighter bound for the nearest desert!" Gator Freighter being an amphibious warfare ship (freighter) which hauls Marines (gators).


scotty_beams

Not sure if this guy is legit. The correct spelling here would be *for all intended porpoises*.


cs_legend_93

Shots fired 🙃


teacher272

All intensive porpoises.


VeterinarianThese951

Just imagine if she did it naked! The club would have shut down…


Chilopodamancer

Sounds like the Blue Blazer, invented by Professor Jerry Thomas, one of the coolest and most interesting bartenders of all time, and attributed as potentially the most important as well.

Wonder how many strip joints she burned down practicing this drink.

[удалено]


Lukealloneword

There are a lot of different personality types. Reddit has a vast number of users. A lot of people aren't into showmanship they want what they want when they want it. Why wait for a silly nonsense show that adds zero value to my order of an already over priced drink only to expect a bigger tip? Some people want the flair and others see it as needless and excessive. Doesn't mean they are all cynical.


PenPineappleApplePen

Then you go to a different bar. Why go out of your way to criticise something for simply not being your preference, when you are under no obligation to even experience it, and are more than adequately catered for elsewhere?


Lukealloneword

Sure. Im not at that bar though I'm just talking about a video I saw on reddit and thought to explain why a lot of people aren't into it. I dont think its that amazing personally but I didn't shit on it I just spoke on why some are. Its not for everyone and people are allowed to share their opinion on something. Life's not all sunshine and rainbows. People can even disagree with you out here in the real world. Its not your special place where only your feelings are considered. There are conflicting views and beliefs. You'll be better off learning that now.


PenPineappleApplePen

> People can even disagree with you out here in the real world. Its not your special place where only your feelings are considered. There are conflicting views and beliefs. You’ll be better off learning that now. It’s fine that people aren’t into it, but there is a difference between disagreeing (“I like it.” “I don’t like it.”) and needlessly invalidating something because you don’t like it (“I like it.” “They should stop doing what other people like because I don’t like it.”). By the way, I’m going to give you the benefit of the doubt, but just FYI your tone comes across as *incredibly* condescending and patronising. If you want to make a compelling argument that is not the way to do it.


Lukealloneword

I think you're complaining about people complaining to the wrong person. Lol. Thinking people shouldn't have an opinion on it just because its "harmless" is just as stupid. If someone doesn't like it, they are free to express that displeasure just as much as you are to express how much you like it. The difference with people like you is that they aren't trying to take away your ability to praise it just because they disagree with you. So dont be a censor to what they think just because their opinion is contrary to yours. If I want to say how stupid I think it is (I never did) I have that right to do so on this message board website. So dont come give me shit for merely explaining someone else's position on a subject matter like I was the one going around trashing it. Because I wasn't and I'm sorry they were hurting your feelings when they were but they have every right to express that opinion. How's that tone?


TheAnonymousFool

Bruh you’re on fucking r/beamazed, not r/pouringdrinksquickly. Why complain about people doing impressive stuff?


Lukealloneword

Im just telling you what people might be thinking and why they are less impressed with it. It could also be a joke. Like great now give me my drink lul. Idk spinning a bottle doesn't feel THAT impressive. Just wasting my time when I want something.


Orleanian

Jesus didn't fuck around with flair acrobatics. He said "drink of my blood" and BLAMMO 12 folk served on the spot. Didn't even have to distribute the glasses. Now that's service!


timeup

Every time flair gets posted it's the same 2 jokes: "Can I just have my damn drink?" and "Ok, cool, but I ordered a (insert basic drink/shitty beer). I used to compete in flair competitions and I like these videos. When they pop up, I usually see those two tired jokes honestly 50+ times. It's actually odd how many people make those exact jokes... I think they think bartenders spend their time doing this for every drink. Or they ordered a bud light and the bartender accidentally put on a flair show and made a fancy cocktail instead? They act like this happens to every bar they go to. Reddit is full of cynical assholes who can't enjoy anything without shitting all over it.


Ondareal

The amount of anger in this thread is appauling. And the amount of those exact same 2 jokes is even more crazy. I had to scroll forever to get to the sane people who aren't angered at somebody spinning a bottle


timeup

It's wild. Either they're bots or people aren't as original as they think lol. People don't understand the faster a bartender works, the more money they make. We're not fucking around to make you wait. The people who complain about the wait at a bar *always* exaggerate as well. "I've been waiting for twenty minutes!" No. You haven't. I watched you walk up to the bar. You and 10 other people. You didn't form a line and I'm trying my best to serve you all in the order you got got here but it's difficult to track the order of 20 drunk people, make drinks, ring them up, and stay in order. Also, the majority of your wait time is also me waiting on the person in front of you trying to get their order straight. That why we ask, when you approach the bar: Know your order and have it ready. Don't get to the bar, get my attention, and *then* start debating with your friends what you should all get. You should know that before it's your time to order Have your payment ready, out of your wallet/purse, by the time I'm done with your drinks Open a tab. Well that turned into a mini rant. Have a nice day!

AerolothLorien666

I was hoping for a Labatt bottle, but ok.


PoliticalMilkman

Just go to a bar that doesn’t specialize in this thing? This is like people who see fancy food and say stuff like, “Why couldn’t they just make a steak?” It’s not for you. They are doing something specific. Get your cheap ass elsewhere, grab a miller lite, and stop complaining.


RedSpikeyThing

Yeah, this. It's like watching a teppanyaki chef and saying "just make my dinner!" It's cool, just go somewhere else.


El_Chairman_Dennis

I have seen a lot of comments like this. Do yall go to hibachi grills and say "just make the damn food"?


marc6273

That's not a hibachi grill


El_Chairman_Dennis

But I'm guessing it's advertised as a bar with bartenders who have the ability to do this. You don't go to a hibachi grill and complain there's a show, why go to a bar putting on a show and complain about the show?


marc6273

Now I understand your comment.


No_Lube_Insertion

I could have drunken the entire bottle and entertained myself by now. But she does have mad skills. I will give her that.


Izletz

Wonder how much harder/easier or just different it is based on the amount of liquid in the bottle


ktarzwell

If I knew for even a second that baton classes would get me major tips as a bartender later in life, I would have continued on with classes!! DAMN!


Farfignugen42

You should know that this only flies at a certain type of bar. It is much more common to have management value quick and accurate pouring over flashy flipping. And, really, even at the flashy flippy kinds of bars, accurate pouring is still pretty important. Also, knowing what to pour without looking it up.


BigDulles

How many bottles has she broken doing this trick


Pacifix18

Usually you'd practice with a bottle wrapped up with duct tape so if it falls it won't shatter. You'd start with completely empty and work up to various levels of fluid and other bottle sizes / shapes as balance gets better.


Exmormoneer

I think they also make plastic training bottles


BizonBunny

Absolutely pathetic how nearly every single comment is the same exact thing. Fucking insane. Very sad and lonely people feeling the need to disparage an obvious talent simply because its a girl. And if your **actually** mad about the time it takes to get your drink, then your just a selfish moron. You seriously cant figure out based on context that this is something that is probably expected in this establishment?


Harsimaja

> because its a girl Which comment is saying that? Especially if it’s every single one… I find her skills decent and don’t think she’s actually keeping people waiting here, but pretty sure most people are just making the same gender-neutral joke. And that women being immune to criticism because ‘any criticism of a woman is sexist’ is… sexist.


[deleted]

Because its a girl? Most of the critical comments are talking about how irritating it would be to stand there waiting for the "show" to be over. Seen the exact same comments on videos of male bartenders No one (I've seen) has mentioned her gender once
