Does anyone have any funny anecdotes about bartenders in the Villages? I probably would not fit in though as I only drink Diet decaffeinated Coke or Pepsi most of the time and splurge on caffeinated regular Coca-Cola when out to lunch or dinner.

Whether a martini shaken or stirred would not be a question I could answer. :throwtomatoes:


I did think that the female bartender might have known if Jon Snow still lives as I guess bartenders are good for scuttlebutt?

Hmmm... let me see, the best bartenders in the Villages....
Nope not answering that one. :p There are just so many awesome bartenders/servers that I would be afraid to accidentally forget to mention someone, then I would feel really bad.

Do you know the bartenders at Arnold Palmer in the afternoons? Just curious. The one I saw did not seem very busy on Thursday July 9, 2015. In fact, I did not see her with any customers. The staff did stop by a few times.

I am pretty sure she is a different woman from the one I encounter at Doggie Doo Run Run who is back to her occasionally smiling laidback self.

We don't usually go in there in the afternoon so I'm not sure.

I have been talking to my niece who is a bartender in Reno, Nevada. I did not know I even had this niece last year at this time. She is the daughter of my late younger brother, Chuck. Chuck and her mother had a fling, she got pregnant, and then they decided to go their separate ways. The daughter though wanted to know more about her biological father so she contacted some of us via Facebook. I am learning some stuff about bartending and more gossip about Reno, Nevada. I have not been back there since 1994 or so but we did live there for 15 years or so. Me for 14 as I was away at the University of Denver getting a MA in Librarianship and Information Management at their Graduate School of Librarianship and Information Management. The last time I had a lot of experience with bartenders was when us library students went out drinking and dancing frequently after a not so hard day of studying. I got a little experience with bartenders while at the University of Minnesota Law School but rarely had much time for partying as the study and work at the Law Library was hard-going.

I do have a renewed interest in bartenders though even though I do not drink any more. We lost my younger brother Chuck last December to long term alcoholism. Kind of ironic that his daughter is now a bartender.

Sorry for your loss. Yes, it is strange sometimes to see the way some things play out. Hope you were able to help your niece learn more about her dad.

Yes. We are sharing all kinds pf photos and the like on Facebook. She seems like a great kid with a couple of kids of her own. That was a huge surprise for my Mother and Father as they were informed that they were great grandparents around July 4, 2015 but had no idea that Chuck had ever got some other girl pregnant and that woman had had a kid by him.
