The world's greatest bartender.

May 31, 2005 00:19

I've just found out that George, the most kick-ass bartender whose path I've ever crossed, has passed away. For the past five years or so, George has been the regular bartender at what was Bound Hartford. Even though he worked for the Webster, and not us at Bound, he would go out of his way to make our experience better by distributing flyers when he could and contributing various props and paraphernalia to the decor of the club. Even on the slow nights, he always found away to sell enough at the bar so that we never had to worry about hitting that bar guarantee. He became so much a part of the Bound experience, that he found his way onto all of our flyers over the last couple of years.
He always knew what I liked, and always put the premium stuff aside, so that there'd be enough for me.

George was seriously one of the people I was always happiest to see at Bound on my trips back home this past year. Knowing that he's not going to be there anymore is just seriously shitty.

Trips back home won't be the same.

George, you'll be missed. A bottle of Old Nick's in your honor, sir.
