Re: Pub
Do they still make this shit? It was literally the first beer I ever drank illegally because I was underaged. I was 11 yrs old. A Buddy of mine worked at the corner store and stole a six pack, so we went into the woods to drink it, plus smoke some Lucky Strikes my Buddy had stolen from his Dad.

BUT
Several years back Genesee put out a heritage pack. This was a 12 pack with 4 bottles each of the regular Genny beer, cream ale and the 12 horse ale. They came in stubby bottles with labels that looked like something from the 1960's. They also did another heritage pack with the regular Genny, cream ale and Genny light in similair packaging. Some months later Genesee put out yet another heritage pack. This one had Fyfe and Drum with two other beers. One of them was a summer ale of some sort if memory serves.

I stumbled upon this place...was actually looking for another place but some Hungarian was blowing up my phone and I got dstracted. I see a table in the corner roped off with a reserved sign on it and a pillow under it on the floor. Aparently someone of some self importance once slept there. Since there is no bartender, I shall take my chance and pour my own G&T.
Well, what do you know. The bartender is asleep on the floor. Does everyone in this dank environment pull just up the carpet and kip the night away?

Apologies if this is the wrong thread for this post.
I was watching this Anthony Bourdain episode it aired in 2003 on Bars.
One of these bars he goes to in New York City. They had a "buy-back" system. Every four or so drinks the patron buys, he gets one for free. An unwritten/unspoken agreement between barman and drinker.
I thought it was incredible, really made me want to go.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?

In America at least, it seems to have more to do with tipping. The unspoken rule is such that if you're tipping regularly on each drink paid for in cash, you're ultimately going to reach a point where the bartender either comps you a free drink or possibly a complimentary shot of something heady and dangerous.
Reasons for this not happening: either the bartender is an oblivious twat, or less frequently perhaps they are being put under scrutiny by management or ownership.

Re: Pub
This has become a disappearing tradition here due to asshats like Jon Taffer and the Bar Rescue douche crew and that corporate bar mentality. You can still find it a your local corner pub but even those are getting swallowed up by "entertainment" groups that just want to make cash through shitty pours and weak drinks served under a sheen of hip and hype. As soon as you realize you're getting raped you'll move on never to return but they don't care as turnover is the name of the cash game.
These people will be the first lined up against the wall and shot when I become dictator.

Re: Pub
It's pretty common here in Greece, almost every bar I've been at does it. After every four drinks, you get a free round of whatever you're drinking. In many bars, they'll also start fixing you with shots (usually of the fruity type) after the third drink or so, as long as you're not a douchebag. The free round sure helps with getting you to stay for at least one more drink even if you were ready to go to another bar.TheDrunkardAnglo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 12, 2022 7:56 amApologies if this is the wrong thread for this post.
