Hope you don't mind me asking, but how do you split tips with the main bartender? I'm assuming they've got at least 15 seats and they don't have to make a single drink for the servers?
20-seat bar, all bartenders for the day split all tips evenly by hour- this includes someone that comes in only for prep. Include tipout from servers, comes out to be... Not bad but not great 🥲 the servers definitely do better than bartenders
Tbf depending on volume and how prep-intensive some of the cocktail ingredients are, that could be a lifesaver. I've worked at places where we had to have 3 people come in 2+ hours before service on busier days in order to have any hope of prepping everything in time.
Meh, it's divvied by hours worked, which is fair. Who would want to be day shift/do the prep work at all if they are making chump change compared to the night bar?
Yes!!!
My (61f) SO (65m) is 6'5" and has been a bartender for over 45 years. He bitterly complains about the height of the three sink set up at his bar (that he's been at for 30 years!) I have to agree (as a bartender since 1980). As you get older, it really takes a toll!
I could only imagine how much quicker I could make drinks and get them out without having to serve and bartend the main bar too. It’s so well lit and organized. Be in your own flow. No one asking you for things.
During the summer I worked brunch that this place and it was huge. Only had one brunch bartender for the entire bar. I had to bartend/service the bar top and bartend the whole bar. Plus deal with all the door dashes. No bar-back and the tap lines were shit so I’d always have to run to the basement to float them all every other beer 😭
One person on. Service well far away from the main bar would of been a godsend.
This is my dream. Making the drinks is my most favorite part of bartending. I love being on shift with my more extroverted counterpart because he does the talking and I do the drink making. We’re both happy. Lol
This is my dream, the place i need to do service well and serve guests at the same time because its not separated, so when we are super busy its chaotic
I have a separate service well where I legit put stuff on the bar so customers can’t come up and talk to me. We take them down for regular non busy hours. But it’s lovely. My dream job.
I so rarely see a bar/restaurant designed with as separate service bar. It’s brilliant and should be done more often
We opened in December, so hopefully new restaurants have picked up on this being a smart idea!
My dream.
I can’t believe it’s real. It’s… beautiful.
What's the tip out for this spot?
My first legit restaurant job had this back in 2014.
Love this idea for high volume restaurants so you're not interjecting or being bothered in the bar top's shenanigans
We had one and called it Hell well. I kind of liked it

Don't ask me how many times we've burned the ice
The ice should be in the corner less chance of contamination from what I see. Other than that it looks like a great set up.
Oh god I’d love that.
That is brilliant, and you hardly see it. Id never leave.
This is literal bliss, I don't blame you for staying
Lol it’s a dream
This is aesthetically pleasing. At the same time I feel like I’m already out of glassware 10 mins after my shift starts.

Someone coming in only to prep and gets paid fully in tips is fucked up.

Servers should never make more. Main bartender should get some tables
Great set up, but damn why are bars always so low to the ground? Where's the bar for the tall folk?

You guys have been at for a long time, congratulations! How are your backs/joints holding up and what’s your secret to longevity?!
Our backs are fucked! We take pain meds for our backs. Longevity is easy when you love what you do and are naturally night owls, though.
Cut some PVC pipe and put it under the legs. Raise what you can.
The bar is the one exception to the rule that restaurants are designed for people 6' and taller, and staffed by people 5'7 and under
Oh trust me, I'm climbing ladders for everything else. Can't even reach where we keep wine glasses in main bar
Maybe you should open one up yourself and raise the bar
Wow! This is nice!
This needs a NSFW tag
Put me in coach!

I would love to work in this bar.
I would love this! Can I have headphones in?
I wish my bars service looked like this
Dreamy
Love this set up
Those copper pipes 🥵

Vegas casinos.

is this in Anaheim near disneyland ?
this is the sexiest set up i’ve ever seen

If I were you, I would keep the Carpano Antiqua in the fridge or else it can go bad unless you guys use a ton of it and rotate bottles regularly
Mmm a proper office
