Well, as time has past and in this business you wonder what is your staying power? Can you call on a solid group of people and friends to come in on  an off night ( Sunday or Monday Night ) and prove your worth? While those two days have football, there are real sports bars bigger and have former NFL players that appear and  sign autographs. I promote other TV shows on those days like, Walking Dead and OCC. Other biker type bars do this with SOA. While the draw is small I still connect with fans of the show and perhaps they'll com in to the bar on those days, this works because I really like the shows and can speak about them as a fan too!

As I've endured in this business bartending, I realizeTruly  what comes around goes around. BE FRIENDLY WITH ALL THE BARTENDERS IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AS YOU MAYBE WORKING WITH THEM AGAIN. We are a small community within a community of people that drink, as a lifestyle it's very different from 9 to 5 ( unless you work the day shift) then it's just that you party after or while they ( your customers) drinks.Don't burn your bridges!  Once a bar closes (due to sale, fire or whatever) your old bartender friend at the very least will not talk bad about you and the best push you to the boss / owner of the bar to gat a job.
