The Unspoken Rules of the Bar: How to Not Annoy Your Bartender

In this episode of Bartender Bangers, host Mark "The Shark" takes a trip to the Sayville Athletic Club in New York to sit down with his longtime friend and seasoned bartender, Bella. With over a decade of experience in the industry, Bella shares her journey from her early days busing on Fire Island at age 15 to her "retirement spot" at the "SAC". Episode Highlights: Behind the Bar Wisdom: Bella discusses the "fake it til you make it" nature of the industry and offers advice for newcomers, emphasizing the importance of having a plan and finding a mentor. The "Living Room" Vibe: A look at what makes the Sayville Athletic Club unique, from its fresh-cut fries and hand-shaved ribeye to its reputation as an extension of the community's living room. Drink Orders & Pet Peeves: Bella reveals her favorite drink to make (a "mean" margarita), the weirdest order she's received (the "Irish Trash Can"), and why making old fashioneds can be a logistical nightmare. Wild Stories: From a drunk patron attempting a "getaway" in an electric wheelchair to a creepy encounter with a banned regular, Bella dives into the high-energy and sometimes bizarre reality of life behind the pine. Shift Drinks: The duo "clinks glasses" with a classic shift drink—the car bomb—while discussing the authentic, sometimes chaotic energy of the local surf and sports community that calls the SAC home. Join us for an episode filled with laughter, "straight, no chaser" truth, and the real stories that live behind the bar.
