This is a pretty cool watch right?
If you saw it on the floor at Smoking Kills on Thursday and thought "F**K YEAH IT IS"

Well it's Chris' and Aimee has been wearing it every day for like 5 months and she lost it in the pit

So please please bring it back, no questions asked
You'll get a bar tab and she will tell you that you are a poes cool chom.

Please?

I'd be stoked if I found it too.
But this is kinda more than just a watch

K LOVE YOU

Caitlin came all the way from PE to join Smoking Kills, and it's not because she wanted to leave PE.
Though we'd understand that too tbr

Insanely talented behind the bar, stupid charismatic (with uniqueness nerve and talent)

Cait already secured her spot in a regional comp on her first fu***ng day behind the SK stick and she's going to do so much more. (This was just showing off at this point)

But for now it's her first shift on this fine Tuesday so go ask her to make you a several daiquiris while she explains what goes on a co**se reviver number 2 during a mosh pit (if there isn't one, we can change that)

We can't wait to see what Cait brings to our den of cocktails and chaos and believe me, we couldn't be more stoked.

Yes, she's only 20 but I don't think it's wise to bring that up unless you want to be schooled by someone half your age with double your skill set 💅

F**k sure.

Now go drink rum & don't be a poes (to Cait)
Mars is on shift with her and will fight you.
They have permission
There's a release form
The bartender is always right
Remember
They work there

F**k it up on a Wednesday

When it comes to Iris

There's the one that you could only see once in Pretoria some time last year that kinda makes you sad if you are single, but also mad at your partner if you aren't because why the f**k didn't they write that song about you.

And then there is this Iris.
The one who you will be seeing a lot more of in Smoking Kills.
And the one that makes the whole world a little less kak because they are in it.

If you couldn't tell already, Iris will be brightening your days (literally) as we open up at 1pm from Thursday - Sundays sooooooooon ;)

She's going to be the bright ass smile you see after you wake up at 1, hungover and trying to make some assemblance of your life and the person you were yesterday.

You know, the version of yourself who said "F**k future me, I'm glad I'm not that guy" but now you are that guy. And my guy. That guy isn't stoked.

But that's why we have Iris.
Because if I had to see Iris and get a burger from Nomsa and Simon? I'd probably be able to do the same bu****it again.

This Iris is the calm that's been missing from our little den of cocktails and chaos and having them join us just felt right, you know?

LOVE YOU

LOVE IRIS

Drink rum

(the rest of us aren't as nice) 💋

Meet John
He starts today as the new general manager of Smoking Kills

You've probably already met John, not that John, but this John. The one from the band and the jols is coming to help us make jols and just generally keep us in line

Good luck John

His first mission is dealing with Aimee's attention span as she tries to train him on general, general management tasks like uh, stock ordering and how to lock up the bar?

No idea what a general manager does to be honest.

Bar opens at 6

Come drink rum and make bad decisions and ask John to make you one of each cocktail

But don't be a poes
It's his first day

LOVE YOU
