Awwww, your knees hurt?
Bad elbows?
Lower back screaming?
THEIRS DO TOO.
And yet — they rise.

For one night only, Tuesday 2/10, we’re dragging the absolute legends of NYC bartending out of semi-retirement and straight back behind the stick. Ten icons. Thirty-ish minutes each. Zero regard for orthopedic advice.

Welcome to the Third Annual Legends Party! LEGENDS OF DODGY KNEES: an old-school, no-notes, tag-team guest shift featuring the bartenders who built this industry, taught us everything, and now require a post-shift ice pack. Ibuprofen strongly encouraged.

Thanks for the loan, . We’ve missed him. 🍸
