lol yeah, i saw this on ebaumsworld a few days back. he's going some cool stuff with the flips and tricks and what not, but im just wondering how the drink actually tasted...
we have flare bartenders at a local resort... really... i dont care for them all that much... i don't need the bar tender to flip around 5 bottles while juggling 3 shot glasses and throwing around liquid for 5 minutes all justfor a bottle of beer... i once, after having a bit too much to drink, just reached over the bar in the middle a guys routine, garbed my beer, and left the money on the bar and walked off...
the man is talented, i'll give him that, but when it comes to serving a beer, it's unnecessary. i'd open the bottle myself if it got me to my drink faster. lol.
creating the path of least resistance is what i do.
Hi Damon,
That show looked like the Ukrainian equivalent of American Idol.
With juggling skills like that, I doubt that he has to earn a living selling beer to ill-mannered patrons.

the tips gotta come from some where, and not everyone is ordering martinis.
and where you see ill mannered, i see not willing to put up with the nonsensical. now if part of his flare routine would have been to reach into the cooler in front of him and opening my beer with his eye socket (which i've seen done on the fly by a guy with his hands full and tipped him very well out of sheer amazement) it would have been a different story... but when i order a beer, there's no need to spend 5 minutes flipping liquor bottles... just throwing that out there.

Hi Damon,
Had the fact that this bloke was in a room with thousands of cheering people (rather than a bar) somehow escaped you.the tips gotta come from some where, and not everyone is ordering martinis.
I sometimes wonder why I do it, too.and where you see ill mannered, i see not willing to put up with the nonsensical.
Ah......now there's true culture for you.now if part of his flare routine would have been to reach into the cooler in front of him and opening my beer with his eye socket......
He's probably still gripped with a deep sense of gratitude.(which i've seen done on the fly by a guy with his hands full and tipped him very well out of sheer amazement)......
Damon, the bloke is an entertainer......a showman. The bottles and shakers are props.....and the cheering people are the audience.....not a bunch of beer-swilling patrons at a bad hair party......but when i order a beer, there's no need to spend 5 minutes flipping liquor bottles...
Oh forget it!
God put you up to it, didn't he? You're a test from God, right?

Oh Gary... so miss informed. The guys not an "entertainer" though the act might be entertaining. The guy is a flare bartender. There's classes on thing he does.
I'm betting his day job title says bartender, not stage show actor.
