BARTENDERS, STOP GETTING MAD AT THE SERVICE BAR! 🍻

When you’re slammed behind the bar, the last thing you want is another stack of drink tickets coming in.

But Michael Pez has a different way of looking at it.

He explains why taking care of the service bar and making great drinks for tables can actually benefit you in the long run.

Bartenders, do you see the service bar as an opportunity or just another headache during a busy shift?

WHO TIPS BETTER? AMERICANS OR CANADIANS? 🇺🇸🇨🇦💰

There’s always a debate about tipping culture, but what about the difference between countries?

Toronto bartender Michael Pez shares his firsthand experience with American and Canadian customers and who he believes tips better.

If you’ve worked in both countries, we’d especially love to hear your take.

Bartenders and servers, who’s been more generous in your experience? And do you think tipping culture has gotten better or worse?

WOULD YOU TRY THIS EXORCIST-INSPIRED HALLOWEEN COCKTAIL? 👻🍸

Halloween is right around the corner, and Michael Pez has a cocktail idea that’s definitely not your typical pumpkin spice drink!

Inspired by the horror classic The Exorcist, Michael walks us through how he created a gray cocktail using some unexpected ingredients and a pretty wild presentation.

From the flavor combinations to the finishing touches, this is one bartenders might want to consider for their Halloween menus.

Bartenders, would you put something like this on your menu? And customers, would you actually order it?

STOP TAKING LOUD PHONE CALLS AT BARS! 📱🍻

We’ve all encountered that one person who thinks the entire bar needs to hear their phone conversation.

Michael Pez shares a hilarious example about the customer who’s always talking too loud or watching videos at full volume.

Whether you’re working behind the bar or just trying to enjoy a drink, this one hits home.

What’s worse: someone having a loud phone conversation or watching videos without headphones?

Could your cocktail garnish actually be TOXIC? 🍸

We all love a cocktail that looks amazing, but are some bartenders getting a little too creative with their garnishes?

Melissa Brooke from Cocktail Wars explains why garnishes aren’t just about presentation and why knowing what you’re putting in someone’s drink is so important.

Bartenders, what’s the strangest garnish you’ve ever seen someone use?
