In Denver, bouncers at a craft cocktail bar, a punk bar and an historic jazz venue share what a night on the job looks like (via punch_drink)
I moved out from New Jersey, coming up on five years in December. My family has been running bars in New Jersey for about three generations. I chose to go into sports management and went to college to make my mom happy. I spent a year in that industry, hated it, came out to Denver to visit these bars and immediately fell in love.
My brother Sean offered me the opportunity to move out with him and learn how to work in the industry. During the pandemic, there was a lack of staff, so I started working the door more.I was very confused at how nice people are here. Random people saying hi on the streets—it is not like that on the East Coast. People here were holding doors for me, and I was like, “No, sorry, I don’t have any money.
Vaping is one of my biggest pet peeves. Everyone does it—I do it occasionally, too—but I’m constantly reminding people that they can’t vape indoors, especially after they’ve had a few drinks. I still try to be hospitable with a three-strike method where it’s like, please don’t do this, please don’t do this, and then, one more time and you’re out.Depends on the shift. I love a good gin and soda.
