can we drink at daddy's tomorrow night?

yeah just think of it as pre-gaming for metro, morbs.

NB: I am the "brother" of a regular at metro and people frequently ask me for him!

OMG I HAVE A GAY FRIENDS TOO!!!!!

I've never seen you hang out at a gay bar, homophobe.

Yes, that surely makes me a homophobe. You're right.

you guys can both love gay dudes equally

Ben, my gripe with Daddy's is more like:

* 2 or 3 female bartenders twisting their toes into the floor at the back wall, chatting, while people crowd up to be served.
* slow moving like molasses, generally supah inefficient -- like, you'd get fired from a kitchen for moving one lemon wedge at a time, but at Daddy's it's like they're sleepwalking to the margarita machine.
* bartender looks me in the eye, turns away to serve other side of bar, comes back and serves a guy next to me who wasn't there before, and guy not only does not say "she was here first" but actually nudges me out of the way so he can lean on the bar. Bad manners all 'round.

wait, I think Tuesday might be lez night at Metrop

I seem to vaguely recall that it might be karaoke night?

My problem with Laurel:

repeats herself

Boy, how annoying! Good thing we don't know anyone else who does that.

maybe the bartenders overheard you repeat yourself?

JUST KEEEEEDING

I want to drink at places where people go to drink, not to see and be seen & talk to the bartender for 10 minutes while I'm trying to get a drink at a bar that's not even busy.

Which is also the bartender's fault, mind you.

Gather! Make merry! But pls remember that the primary function of a BAR is to serve DRINKS.

I'm not anxious. I just refuse to go back to Daddy's. Also I dislike it when the bartender's main job doesn't seem to be serving people alcohol. Being an awesome hipster and posing behind the bar might be what they pay you for in Wburg but it's not a vote of confidence for me.

jesus christ. you guys are a bunch of yentas.

laurel,

ive always seen yr points re: the clubhouse...i just think its hilarious that this same argument always comes up...i guess my thinking is, if thats where someone wants to be, for whatever reason, then everyone has the option of going or not. no sense in this constant retreading of (legitimate for some/most) gripes. that place isnt about to change. too bad, i guess, as id like to catch you one of these nb drinks nights...

and jon..quittit with the pot/kettle biznez...

That reminds me that I did once see a 5-yr old try to give his mother a beer at a rugby game. He went to the cooler and got it and brought it back to her and said "HERE MAMA. YOU WANT A BEER?" and she was like "Oh, haha, um, THANK you, Charlie, but Mama's not drinking today! Mama has to drive, so put that back, okay?" "BUT MAMA, I HAVE TO GET YOU A BEER" "Er, yes, sweetheart, but not today. Give that back to the nice lady." Etc. Good times.

i want to adopt that child. or, more to the point, i want to adopt his cooler.

just marry his mom = triple play

reasons for having a baby: table service, not tip required

just marry his mom = triple play

yeah, i want to get involved with a woman who, apparently, had a kid just so she could train it to get her beers. while admirable, there's only room for one of those types in a relationship.

so what time you wanna start?

never

930

anyone else?

not laurel

hbourbon?

shall I just go home and watch Casino Royale?

i'll be there around 9ish, maybe before.

it's funny mostly because daddy's doesn't serve pbr.

combines jon's and laurel's complaints wow!

i like pretty much all of the daddy's bartenders (unless they've fired everyone and brought in a bunch of new ones in the last 3 months or so)

I'm going to have to revise my yelp review

lol @ that article complaining about the quality of bartending at the fucking turkey nest of all places

so much o_O

so much bullshit.

I got a buy back at Daddy's the other night.

I went to "a bar" with a bunch of UK kids last night. One of them hurled inside the bar and then right out in front. Then we got busted smoking a j outside. I'm not so sure I want to show my face there for a while. :(((((( so sad!
