A Yoga Bartender's Review of a Career at Length

Before this dream,

     Mastering my profession through discipline must happen, thus a review about bartending and alcohol intake with pace: Mixology EU

I agree,

This humbly poetic ancient fool didn’t start bartending till he was 30, having been in hospitality since graduating uni, I must say that this is my career! At least until my inept social poetic commentary voice is acknowledged.

Crafting an excellent drink for someone is fantastic, I adore the tact of reading the potential client as they approach the bar, even before they engage, I’m engaged. Will they want some banter or will they desire some peace and quite as they genuinely sip an amalgamation of mixology that is their very favourite cocktail, only a frown or smile will tell.

Every day I do at least 30 minutes of yoga before and after my very long double shift of 12+ hours is over, then and only then, at the late to wee early hours of the morning do I chance a sip at my awkwardly favourite whiskey on the rocks before heading off to join my partner whose been past out for several hours.

For me, it’s all about the long sore every appendage aches game, but that’s mostly because the bar I’m at now is a restaurant service bar with cocktails, which I, as the bartender, have to solo… Which includes polishing all my own glass, hosting, running food, some Sommelier tasking at tables as well. I shan’t ever complain because the hard work has taught me to love and respect my chosen career and the practitioners who take the effort to craft skill under a guise of discipline and many many late nights!

So whatever bar you work behind, enjoy and always remember to stretch your mind and flex your body!

In earnest anticipation of,
