Tyler James Pub!!!!

Well, well, well. So who won the pool for when my next post would be?
I've bid a fond farewell to the Boathouse. It was hard, because I had worked there for so long, but it was time for me. I originally went to go work at a place called Grady David's. A fine restaurant, please go there if you are in the area. Get the Oysters Grady David. They are killer. It just turned out to not be a great fit for me. And I don't like to trash people, but I had a hard time working in bar where I was the only one who had ever worked a high volume bar before. No one really listened to me when I would offer suggestions as to how certain things should be set up and run. Then I have to hear them all say things like, "I've never really worked a busy bar before, we have to figure out how to do this!"
I felt like that kid in the back of the class going "Ohh! Oooooh! Oooooh! I know how! I know! Listen to me!" But the teacher never, EVER picked on me. And all the other kids ignored me. It was ... frustrating.

But all of that is behind me now. I've signed on to help manage and tend bar at Tyler James Pub. The newest bar on the Bridge Street Strip. I'll be hanging out there for a while I suppose. It's a long term investment for me but I think it will pay off. Especially considering the only thing I have to invest is my time. I just make drinks and sometimes tell other people what to do. Plus I'm working with some of the finest people in the biz. This place is going to kick ass. Everyone who has come in so far loves it. You will too. Everyone will! Unless you have issues with digital video feed delay. Don't get me started on that. I figured it out, okay! It'll NEVER happen again, I swear!


We have darts, shuffleboard, megatouch, a digital jukebox and more! Upstairs plans include live music on Fridays and 80's Dance Party on Saturdays. Break out your parachute pants kids!

We have free booze*, dancing girls** and serve food until about 1:30.

* well, if your friend buys, it'll be FREE for YOU; otherwise, you have to pay for it (PLEASE NOTE: it is illegal to give away free alcoholic beverages in the state of Pennsylvania. Don't be a jackass, it's a fricking joke ok?)
** technically we don't have dancing girls, per se; but there might be some girls there dancing at any given moment.
Hey one out of three ain't bad, huh?

There will be more later. Hopefully with far less exposition and far more fun.

Peace!
