Flare Bartending: a show and a hangover all in one!
WHO: Conner and John Paul
WHEN: 3-6 Sat evening
WHERE: The Winchester
WHAT: The bros finally meet while Conner works his magic~
At first Conner had thought the Old Man was bonkers for bringing up these special three night a week things. Who the hell would come see a guy toss around some bottles to make simple drinks? It wasn't like The Winchester served cocktails, they were a manly pub not some metro bar with fancy lights. This first week would fail spectacularly and it would be given up in favor of something like beer pong nights or something. Everyone loved beer pong and the patrons would come pouring in if they had specials on the beer to go along with the game.
Surprisingly, the Friday night crowd was just a tad larger than normal. Not too much larger but a dozen or so more guys than usual. The band was some decent local guys who even did a few Flogging Molly songs at the Irish bartender's requests. To top it all off the tips were fantastic!
Spinning bottles seemed like second nature once again, after a few fumbles the night before from once again being unaccustomed to tossing full liquor bottles around with bad depth perception. But he was back on his game, wearing a nice dark blue dress shirt and a black tie, sleeves rolled to his elbows and hair pulled back into a ponytail with a flashy grin.
"Comin' right up lads!" Two bottles, a scotch and a whiskey flew up into the air, one caught in each hand then flipped a few more times. A steady stream of liquor poured over a line of shots and after another toss the bottles were under the table and glasses slid down the bar. The band was the same from the night before and they started up on Drunken Lullabies by Flogging Molly. Fuck he loved his job.
