"Would you order food from someone with a towel over their shoulders?" Some of the best ribs ive ever had came from a big man with a towel over his shoulders.

you should never work somewhere that doesn’t follow laws. laws where i live you MUSF have atleast one break in a five hour shift. 2 breaks in an 8. or one long one
I got a job and told them i have no bar experience and they still put me behind on the first day! Someone asked for a cocktail and i honestly told them i didnt know how to do it and the customer showed me step by step and told me how to do it in the future. Im glad i got a nice customer
@@nicolep.9212 yeah those girls were absolutely horrible and laughing in her face. I didn’t learn how to make a gimlet until I worked in a nicer bar where customers actually ordered that. She said in her many years bartending there no one ever ordered it so why would she know how to make it off the top of her head? Additionally she did the right thing: “I don’t know how to make that, can you help me? Or should I look it up?” And for them to laugh at her and say “how can you be a bartender and not know how to make a gimlet?” Total assholes. After leaving the dive bar scene I remember having a guy order a Grateful Dead, something I made all the time for a couple years. But after working in high end bars I had completely forgotten how to make it. It doesn’t make a stupid or inexperienced bartender or need mocking. There’s very few if any bars where they can make every and any drink.
As a former bartender, I couldn’t imagine serving customers while under the influence and I’m a happy drunk when I drink. That cook laughing at the drama is me when I’m hammered😂
“I don’t have the ingredients for an old fashion”!! It’s bourbon, a sugar cube, bitters and a little water and you, a bar, does not have it!! That’s a sad state of affairs!!
@@anastasiawilliams6645 even just a teaspoon of sugar will do, doesn't really need to be a cube. Either simple syrup or some sugar and a little water along with the bourbon and bitters and you have an old fashioned. Every bar should have bourbon and bitters.
As a bartender this makes me extremely angry. I promise not every bartender is like this. Shots are reserved for after your shift and guest have cleared the restaurant or bar. I've never worked In a place that this behavior would fly.
@@slygurl123 there are schools in every major city. But I never found it necessary. I had like a day of training and alot of 12 hour days. And here we are
@@JohnTheRevelat0r Wow prejudice much not every black business owner is using their restaurant to launder money, why the hell would they agree to be on a tv show broadcasting their business to the world if they were using their bar as a front. I've seen bars and other business some that got caught and others that didn't that used their business as a way to launder money or as a front to sell stuff not on display. They were paranoid people they would always try to be as discreet as possible and make it seem business as usual, they wouldn't be dumb enough to put their business on tv.
@@tikaroxanne7286 I feel like that was every other bar too. In another one of them she started showing the customers her boobs like they're ALL bad and obviously the owner doesn't care about any of them
Back when I was doing it, we were allowed 2 drinks maximum, and they had to be out of sight of the customers. Only time I ever did more than that was 1 st Patrick's day. Closed the bar, counted the stocks and cashed up while very drunk, don't even remember doing it, suppose it was just muscle memory at that point.
I have two bartenders in my family and they never drink. At all. According to them, they know if they do, it'll get out of control. But they will say that they know plenty of those who are complete alcoholics. It seems like it's one or the other. No in between.
Unfortunately some people who go into the profession try to use bartending as a cover up, but as you can see, the ones that do, don’t do a very good job of hiding their umm “motivation”. A lot of bars don’t play that, drink on the job, waiters or bartenders, you are gone that day.
Pro tip: If you're not sure how to make a particular cocktail, you don't need to make yourself look awkward and say "I don't know how to make that". Just ask "How do you like that?" 9 times out of 10 the customer will list off the ingredients and measures they like. If they ask for one you're *completely* stumped on, just say "could you talk me through that one? I want to make sure it's right". Then make a point of writing down the mix in front of them so if they ask for another, they can see you were proactive and noted down how to make it. It just shows you're making the effort to provide good service even if there are holes in your knowledge. Also, it's worth keeping a cocktail cheat sheet under the bar to help you. Then again, unlike the people in this video, you need to actually give a crap about good service lol You also should NOT be drinking on the job outside of very specific circumstances. If a customer wants to buy you a drink, put it in a ledger and have it outside of work hours. If it's an occasion like Christmas or New Years or whatever, then sure, have a drink with the customers to toast the occasion, but make it just ONE.
I’ve never seen bartenders this drunk 😬 Like I’ve seen a few sneak a shot before or after shift. But never get sloppy drunk and drink openly throughout the shift 😳 Like...what???
You took the words right out of my mouth; I can honestly say that I've never seen any bartender drink. Ever. Especially behind the bar. Off the clock, hanging with a patron, maybe. Otherwise, never.

Yeah having a drink or two is one thing. I wouldn’t recommend it but you can still go about your duties and behave normally. These people are getting shitfaced though which is ridiculous
The lady who asked how to make a gimlet was treated horribly. You don't sit there and make fun of the bartender for not knowing how to make a specific drink. She was humble and asked if they could tell her how to make it and they just proceeded to giggle and mock her. I would've kicked them out.
Update: a coworker said something about a gimlet last week 🥴 he sounded like he thinks they’re gross & associates them w old people so I guess they’re not a super popular cocktail nowadays lmao
Unfortunately, Bunz was depicted accurately BUT that is only how she act intoxicated, which the producers encouraged & allowed. I seen it with my own 2 eyeballs
@@ihatetacocasa Hmm i don't know what the laws are like down where you from but here it's up to the judgment of the bartender but it's illegal to serve an over intoxicated patron and if they put up a stink they can be ordered to leave and not allowed to return for 24 hours.
I used to go to a large Irish Pub by my place, they did All-You-Can-Drink on Thurday nights. $10 for a wristband, would get you tap beer and rail drinks. It was always a disaster, bunch of college kids that are using fake ID's, getting sloppy drunk, and no one tipping so staff is pissed off all night. Went on for like 2 months before some one called the cops and they came in to ID everyone. I was lucky enough to be there for it, kids scattered like deer. Front door was broken off the hinges from people trying to get around the cops and a few actually tried climbing into the ceiling in the bathrooms lol. All-you-can-drink is NEVER a good idea.
I'm a bartender in small town North Pole, Alaska and I admit we don't have ingredients but if I did crap like this I wouldn't be able to find another bartending job up here at all!!!
It's one thing to not have the ingredients and be up front about it front the get go. It's a complete shit show to leave your customers sitting and wondering and this say oh hey, I don't have this and that.
22:51 Alyssa was actually trying and those girls were being snobby and unwilling to even describe the drink. Then I’m sure she heard them talking smack about her. I understand her frustration.
@@AlexxeMJFANLater when they were being trained she got an attitude when being told about a gimlet. Then she couldn’t take constructive criticism of a drink she made up (the guy said the proportions might be off) and she got up and walked out without even trying to learn. She’s not “trying her best” when she acts like that after being a bartender for 12 years. She just has a bad attitude.
And the one bartender walked out because those girls were giggling and laughing at her about not knowing the drink or making it wrong. She seemed pretty polite
Agree. At least she didn't just say that she didn't know how to do it. She acknowledged that she wasn't familiar and asked the girl to walk her through it. They were rude. I would have walked out too.
I agree... The gimlet is just half part gin, half part lime cordial(or lime juice & sugar mix). If I were the customer, I'd just tell the bartender the recipe.
I never did a whiskey sour and been bartender for 4-5 years... in the city I live in Quebec it's not popular.. well, not in a country bar that I'm working
@@sophiemorin6347 Yeah sounds like you crack open a lot of beer bottles. Whiskey Sours are extremely popular in every bar I've ever been too; I've never not seen them on a cocktail menu
@@sophiemorin6347 but it's literally in the name. As an experienced bartender even if u haven't been asked to make it, i would think youd be able to still figure it out after hearing that name
I used to be Kitchen Manager at a pretty popular bar, and as soon as I took over, they didn't like me 😂. I insisted we take "fresh" off the menu for frozen mussels, cod and burgers. The GM argued the buger patties are hand made, not frozen... but the 10lb log of burger we made the patties from came in frozen because they were cheaper... they were a day away from expiring so the purveyor freezes them and discounts the price. And then we had bread pudding with Jameson whiskey sauce... that was made with McMasters brand whiskey. 🙄 But then, strangely, a bunch of stuff on the menu WAS fresh made daily, hand battered, made to order, etc. It was an odd combo of really good food, and false advertised dishes 😂.
There's a bar in my town where the one female bartender does the same exact thing. She'll get absolutely way more drunk than the actual customers and will be dancing on the bar and she thinks it's cute. It's one of the most embarrassing things I've seen.
I just found this and God, that's the truth. I'm genuinely embarrassed for these people and I'm not even there. Especially that old blond broad starting at 15:00 or so. The younger ones acting a fool are bad enough.

In the second one where they said “when someone asks for no ice.. they know they’re gonna get less in the glass” .. as a bartender for a long time, I definitely don’t 100% agree with that. ACTUALLY.. I think A LOT of people who ask for no ice think they’re getting a deal because they’ll get more alcohol. I can’t TELL you HOW MANY TIMES I’ve literally told people “unless you want more mixer, no ice means there’s going to be less in the glass” and they’ve argued with me. I mean.. it literally got to the point where I TELL PEOPLE THAT in order to AVOID THE ARGUMENT that comes along with me giving the a drink that doesn’t fill the glass lol
I think you need to stop drinking at work. And I pray to God you don't drink and drive. I know you think it's fine to be drunk 24/7. But hopefully you don't drive while you're drunk. I've lost a family member and a friend to 2 different drunk driver's. You don't need to ruin more lives. And if your boss is telling to drink while at work you should find a place of employment that has more respect for you. Just remember, next time you're drunk at work, TAKE A CAB HOME. If you're going to act a fool while at your place of employment AT LEAST have the decency to not drive home intoxicated.
From someone that works at basic fast food as a cook and manager, inspection for us tells us to not have towels like that even laying around because the sweat of your hands and the condensation of anything that steams on a towel is a luxury hotel for bacteria. If its done in a restaurant as small as fast food, I really do hope its a bigger deal in bigger restaurants
@@lauraorta4378 I worked at a high end Italian restaurant, and even the executive chef used the towel to pick up the pan. Though that would be the towels only use.
@@lauraorta4378 basic fast food is not the same as most kitchens. For one if it’s really basic non of you are kitchen trained or have cheffing experience properly. In a kitchen, a frying pan might be going into an oven, that handle could be coming out 200+ degrees Celsius. You wanna grab that by hand?
There is zero hidden cameras 3:24 no way is that camera hidden. Also the lighting is so bright and notice how you never see any windows because they all have covers or curtains over them, it couldnt be anymore faker. Yes, real pub, yes prob real staff but they are told to completely act it up
@@deantirmiziIt's a bar. When you're old enough to go into one, you'll notice the windows are always darkened and/or covered in bars. Second, remote cameras are able to zoom in and out.
when she got fired she took it better than the other one. She actually admitted that maybe she needed to get help and didn't blame the owners. The other lady who got fired made a big deal talking bout i guess we're not family. They did turn it around
And the rest of the bars weren’t ??? Like the girl who got on the counter and had someone take a shot out of her boobs, or the other bar where the girl held a cigarette over someone’s drink and then wiped her mouth and touched on the rim of everyone’s glass.
Black & Brown Lives Matter I am a person of color so no! But I think it’s fucked up that his own family would do that to him. But you were the one pointing out the fact that they are black so is everything just color to you?
Aliyah Brown yeah expect that bar was mostly made up of the owners family members. They had no consideration whatsoever and they were acting like fools. If I were him I’d fire them because if I offered them a job at my bar I would expect them to treat it better than any other job because they are my family! But instead they act like that. Smh
I still remember the one bartender in the “Put it on Cody’s Tab” episode who basically insulted his patrons. “What kind of place do you think this is? You’re lying. Nobody’s a whisky person.” I may not be a whisky person myself, but that’s not how I’d approach my customers if they ordered a whisky. A bartender’s job isn’t to belittle or insult somebody’s taste.
I've went to a bar, where the bartender tried to make me a drink she had never heard of, after I explained it to her. After a couple of failed attempts, she brought me the ingredients (not the bottles), and let me make the drink, just so she could learn how to make it. I paid for the drinks she messed up and left her a big tip. That place became a regular spot for my friends and I. Loved that place!!
Alcoholics working a bar will bring it down faster than the titanic. Never in my 13 years of bartending have I worked with anyone else like that nor myself. No self respect.
The cook laughing at the fight is, unfortunately, pretty relatable for me EDIT: The reply section has devolved into an argument about racism. Proceed with caution, but please don't add fuel to the fire.
20:45 that is the look of a lost woman in a ton of pain. She needs a counselor and a real friend. I felt sad for her. She looks like a lost child right there. SMH
It’s very true, sadly. Just saw her obituary and I am absolutely crushed that people harassed to that point. Beautiful woman that is gone too soon. And from what I’ve read, Jon Taffer or anyone else has reached out to her family to send condolences or apologize.
I feel bad for some of these bartenders, because while some of these people just don't care, there are some intelligent, possibly skilled people who were just taught incorrectly or not taught at all. They're ignorant of how a bar is supposed to be run.
The girls from the soccer team were being so incredibly rude! I would have gotten annoyed, too. Their server even asked how to make the drink she wanted.. which is what John just said a bartender should do in that situation.
Me: This is outrageous, what kind of drink even is that it's nothing like what they ordered, WHO DOESN'T HAVE OLD FASHIONS!? Also me: is 16 and has never had a drink in my life
But literally, there's no excuse for a "full bar" to not have whiskey, simple (or worst case, sugar), bitters, orange, cherry. Or no orange and cherry, if you're a traditionalist!
Omg this bar used to be in my hometown 5 minutes down the street. They closed quickly after the episode aired. If I remember the owners opened up a new bar 10 minutes from this place and it’s not any better, still up and running tho😂
What's the time stamp with her in it :( and that's literally so sad wtf. I really wish some of these people would get help! Because they have a whole life ahead of them.
Watching this while drinking vodka makes me so happy I don’t drink in excess in public. Being drunk in public is my biggest fear, you’re so vulnerable it’s crazy that people still do it... every single weekend.
I worked at the bar of a nightclub for 2 years and I can say this: if one of the managers saw us drinking even a SIP of alcohol we would be out in the blink of an eye
Right? Ive seen so many comments say that its ok to drink during your shift. Its unprofessional and extremely dangerous since youre responsible for knowing when to cut someone off
@@ManoloRibera070 exactly! We had v strict instructions to only pretend to drink when f.e a customer invites us to and then spit it out in a beet bottle. Also the establishment can get shut down if alcohol is unaccounted for. Also what if someone orders an „angel shot“ and the barkeeper is too wasted to understand..? I don’t understand how it can be „normal“ to drink on a shift… you are at work.
My great-aunt owned a small bar in Montréal in the 70s and she never had a drink on the job. She hardly drank in fact. So whenever some guys offered her a drink, she politely refused and only accepted tips. She always made sure the place was respectable before she retired.
Multiple places just like "we dont have what it takes to make an old fashioned." Like... sugar, bitters, and whiskey. You're a bar. How do you just not have one of those...?
I like to think when a bartender at a crappy bar says that , Its more likely they have the ingredients just don't know how to make the actual drink. Like some crappy bars will have the ingredients then make the drink but its not made right at all. Unbalanced crap in a glass or cup. One time I actually had to tell a female bartender how to make a godfather...Its a two ingredient drink. After her crappy attempt at a drink with only two ingredients I left and haven't went back since.
Or she didn't, had kids way to young, felt like she missed out not going to college and partying so trying to make up for it now and act like a complete idiot.
They say that they wouldn't order food from a guy with a rag over his shoulder. Gordon Ramsey always has a rag over his shoulder! Don't get me wrong i love both Jon Taffer and Gordon Ramsey!
14:37 breaks are every two hours. One break (preferably in the middle) for a four-hour shift. 5 hours gives you a break and a 30 minute unpaid lunch break.
For her to say “mucho foodo” cause the people at the table were Spanish and then feel the need to immediately be like “no I’m just kidding” guilty conscious much? Cause is that low key racist?
@Me We a friend of mine owns a bar that appeared on the show a few years ago, and what I got is that it's a mix between real and staged. Real bars, real owners, etc, but the contract with the show means that they can make the bar look worse than it really is (at this place they left kitchen doors open specifically to let rats in while the bar was closed for renovations and made up a few other things, like that the bar is in worse shape than it actually is, plus selective editing to make the staff look worse) but they did fix some actual issues with the bar and did the whole renovation on the show's dime
Mellisa LOVES feeling like the sexiest girl in the room and it makes her feel important and the older woman WISHES she was still young and sexy so she could feel important again...Mellisa will end up just like that old woman
Seriously, they're all lit up like a foot ball field. And the wandering cameras, even going into the kitchen. They had to have known they were being filmed, how much of this is staged?
@@unclewiley1986 Yes. This is correct, they can even scout it and not make an episode. They did that with my mom's friend's bar but it wasn't a bad place. I suspect they chose somewhere with way more problems.
"I'm beginning to understand why this bar is packed with men." Alcohol, loose women, and no morals are the perfect combination to find men, i will admit that.
I wouldn’t order a cocktail in a dive bar, I probably wouldn’t even order a highball. If I wanted a spirit I’d have a shot, and otherwise I’d stick to beer
Sometimes the cocktails are the best part of dive bars for me, one of the local bars in my city has amazing and cheap as hell cocktails. Probably has a lot to do with the talented bartenders though
I worked at a very nice restaurant after getting out of the culinary institute, the boss came in and he was hammered. We had a reservation for 150 people and when they saw how he was acting, the whole table got up and left. I gave him my 2 weeks notice the next day. I did get hired at a small resort town in Northern Michigan.
Never mind the staff, these bars all look dead af. No atmosphere, bright lights, no music. Awful, but then again American bars have the soul and charm of a wet towel.
I have never been to a bar that brightly lit ever in my life. Especially a dive bar. Of all places, you don't want bright lights in a place like that lmao

@@tikaroxanne7286 I feel like that was every other bar too. In another one of them she started showing the customers her boobs like they're ALL bad and obviously the owner doesn't care about any of them
@@kitykity434 Why did you make it about his race?
All my years of bartending i never drank behind the bar or on shift. Mad dumb.
Back when I was doing it, we were allowed 2 drinks maximum, and they had to be out of sight of the customers. Only time I ever did more than that was 1 st Patrick's day. Closed the bar, counted the stocks and cashed up while very drunk, don't even remember doing it, suppose it was just muscle memory at that point.
Nope, same for me- in clubs or private bars, I never let people buy me drinks or drank. I cannot imagine slinging drinks while intoxicated.
When I worked at a bar we were not allowed to drink any alcohol, but could have as much juice or soda as we wanted
A bar shouldn't allow even a single drink for an employee. Suddenly, that will turn into every drink being their "first" drink.
Customers used to buy me shots.. I had a special bottle with water in it that I would use. They all thought I could drink anyone under the table... 🤣
That first bar - I walk in and see security dressed like he is going to war, I'm walking right back out.
From this show, it's clear that bartending is a great occupation for functioning alcoholics
Are we sure they are functioning? Lol
I have two bartenders in my family and they never drink. At all. According to them, they know if they do, it'll get out of control. But they will say that they know plenty of those who are complete alcoholics. It seems like it's one or the other. No in between.
Most well functioning bars have a zero tolerance policy regarding drinking on the job.
Unfortunately some people who go into the profession try to use bartending as a cover up, but as you can see, the ones that do, don’t do a very good job of hiding their umm “motivation”. A lot of bars don’t play that, drink on the job, waiters or bartenders, you are gone that day.
yeah, I just keep a vodka bottle filled with water so when people wanna pay me shots I dont die...
Pro tip: If you're not sure how to make a particular cocktail, you don't need to make yourself look awkward and say "I don't know how to make that". Just ask "How do you like that?" 9 times out of 10 the customer will list off the ingredients and measures they like. If they ask for one you're *completely* stumped on, just say "could you talk me through that one? I want to make sure it's right". Then make a point of writing down the mix in front of them so if they ask for another, they can see you were proactive and noted down how to make it. It just shows you're making the effort to provide good service even if there are holes in your knowledge. Also, it's worth keeping a cocktail cheat sheet under the bar to help you. Then again, unlike the people in this video, you need to actually give a crap about good service lol You also should NOT be drinking on the job outside of very specific circumstances. If a customer wants to buy you a drink, put it in a ledger and have it outside of work hours. If it's an occasion like Christmas or New Years or whatever, then sure, have a drink with the customers to toast the occasion, but make it just ONE.
Sounds boring.
Thanks for the tip! I've just started out as a bartender and could use this. Luck, people don't really order cocktails.
Thanks for posting this, I'm taking notes :D

I’ve never seen bartenders this drunk 😬 Like I’ve seen a few sneak a shot before or after shift. But never get sloppy drunk and drink openly throughout the shift 😳 Like...what???
I'm friends with a dude who owns a bar and he might have a beer occasionally with us.

The lady who asked how to make a gimlet was treated horribly. You don't sit there and make fun of the bartender for not knowing how to make a specific drink. She was humble and asked if they could tell her how to make it and they just proceeded to giggle and mock her. I would've kicked them out.

I used to go to a large Irish Pub by my place, they did All-You-Can-Drink on Thurday nights. $10 for a wristband, would get you tap beer and rail drinks. It was always a disaster, bunch of college kids that are using fake ID's, getting sloppy drunk, and no one tipping so staff is pissed off all night. Went on for like 2 months before some one called the cops and they came in to ID everyone. I was lucky enough to be there for it, kids scattered like deer. Front door was broken off the hinges from people trying to get around the cops and a few actually tried climbing into the ceiling in the bathrooms lol. All-you-can-drink is NEVER a good idea.
Its called an open bar. Its legal in some circumstances

Then she couldn’t take constructive criticism of a drink she made up (the guy said the proportions might be off) and she got up and walked out without even trying to learn. She’s not “trying her best” when she acts like that after being a bartender for 12 years. She just has a bad attitude.
And the one bartender walked out because those girls were giggling and laughing at her about not knowing the drink or making it wrong. She seemed pretty polite
Agree. At least she didn't just say that she didn't know how to do it. She acknowledged that she wasn't familiar and asked the girl to walk her through it. They were rude. I would have walked out too.
I actually felt bad for her. They were just unnecessarily rude

The GM argued the buger patties are hand made, not frozen... but the 10lb log of burger we made the patties from came in frozen because they were cheaper... they were a day away from expiring so the purveyor freezes them and discounts the price.
And then we had bread pudding with Jameson whiskey sauce... that was made with McMasters brand whiskey. 🙄
But then, strangely, a bunch of stuff on the menu WAS fresh made daily, hand battered, made to order, etc.

In the second one where they said “when someone asks for no ice.. they know they’re gonna get less in the glass” .. as a bartender for a long time, I definitely don’t 100% agree with that. ACTUALLY.. I think A LOT of people who ask for no ice think they’re getting a deal because they’ll get more alcohol. I can’t TELL you HOW MANY TIMES I’ve literally told people “unless you want more mixer, no ice means there’s going to be less in the glass” and they’ve argued with me. I mean.. it literally got to the point where I TELL PEOPLE THAT in order to AVOID THE ARGUMENT that comes along with me giving the a drink that doesn’t fill the glass lol
I think you need to stop drinking at work. And I pray to God you don't drink and drive. I know you think it's fine to be drunk 24/7. But hopefully you don't drive while you're drunk. I've lost a family member and a friend to 2 different drunk driver's. You don't need to ruin more lives. And if your boss is telling to drink while at work you should find a place of employment that has more respect for you. Just remember, next time you're drunk at work, TAKE A CAB HOME. If you're going to act a fool while at your place of employment AT LEAST have the decency to not drive home intoxicated.

The towel over the shoulder isn't a big deal, most cooks/chefs only use it to pick up the handle of the hot pan from the flaming stove.
From someone that works at basic fast food as a cook and manager, inspection for us tells us to not have towels like that even laying around because the sweat of your hands and the condensation of anything that steams on a towel is a luxury hotel for bacteria. If its done in a restaurant as small as fast food, I really do hope its a bigger deal in bigger restaurants

I still remember the one bartender in the “Put it on Cody’s Tab” episode who basically insulted his patrons. “What kind of place do you think this is? You’re lying. Nobody’s a whisky person.”
I may not be a whisky person myself, but that’s not how I’d approach my customers if they ordered a whisky. A bartender’s job isn’t to belittle or insult somebody’s taste.
I've went to a bar, where the bartender tried to make me a drink she had never heard of, after I explained it to her. After a couple of failed attempts, she brought me the ingredients (not the bottles), and let me make the drink, just so she could learn how to make it. I paid for the drinks she messed up and left her a big tip. That place became a regular spot for my friends and I. Loved that place!!

I like to think when a bartender at a crappy bar says that , Its more likely they have the ingredients just don't know how to make the actual drink.
Like some crappy bars will have the ingredients then make the drink but its not made right at all. Unbalanced crap in a glass or cup. One time I actually had to tell a female bartender how to make a godfather...Its a two ingredient drink.

As far as I know the crew sets up camera and lighting days before John arrives so they don't know exactly when he's coming and so he can observe them
@@unclewiley1986 Yes. This is correct, they can even scout it and not make an episode. They did that with my mom's friend's bar but it wasn't a bad place. I suspect they chose somewhere with way more problems.
I didn’t realize in other places than NY you can smoke inside food establishments. Seems kind of unsanitary. 😂😂😂
After 3 minutes I was starting to feel embarrassed for them.
Me too!
"I'm beginning to understand why this bar is packed with men."
Alcohol, loose women, and no morals are the perfect combination to find men, i will admit that.
Yeah, what kind-ex cons?
💀💀💀💀
Im trying to figure out where this place at now 💪🏾😂
yea...i definitely would be at that bar for melissa lmaooo
Trashy bar how does the owner make money? Employees drink profits
I wouldn’t order a cocktail in a dive bar, I probably wouldn’t even order a highball. If I wanted a spirit I’d have a shot, and otherwise I’d stick to beer
Sometimes the cocktails are the best part of dive bars for me, one of the local bars in my city has amazing and cheap as hell cocktails. Probably has a lot to do with the talented bartenders though
Yep beer, shots and drinks with one mix in . Shandys can also be good.
@@sassybatchz without a doubt
@@nefreteridavis7271 you should be able to get one though. It isn't normal but should. Be able to happen.
@@HJules-cw6fblotta bars can get away with just selling beers and shots. But obviously that isn't working if you're on this show lol
I worked at a very nice restaurant after getting out of the culinary institute, the boss came in and he was hammered. We had a reservation for 150 people and when they saw how he was acting, the whole table got up and left. I gave him my 2 weeks notice the next day. I did get hired at a small resort town in Northern Michigan.
Good for you, sir!
John looks like a disappointed father in the still shot. 😂
Imagine I'm an unemployed 16 year old who's appalled by their behaviour.
Because you’re a smart women who has morals then these idiots you see here before you
@@MrMisterChiliPepper88 Thank you
This is universally embarrassing and disrespectful behavior no matter who you are.
Always smart to work to have your own money
Never mind the staff, these bars all look dead af. No atmosphere, bright lights, no music. Awful, but then again American bars have the soul and charm of a wet towel.
I have never been to a bar that brightly lit ever in my life. Especially a dive bar. Of all places, you don't want bright lights in a place like that lmao
American bars feel like your sitting in someone’s back shed , go to Ireland for the most lively, atmospheric bars and pubs
American bars are like a crap pub trying too hard to be a club
Hell Vietnamese cafe or bar there bunch of foods drinks TVs naked chicks and more way better than these
The bars in Germany are on point
