Okay so that message I thought was private was not? I'm completely confused. Because someone messaged me that they were interested in good cocktails too. I believe my notification said it was a visitor message. They mentioned snarky replies in the thread. I replied something like TOTV has a bunch of curmedgeons and expected snarkiness. Clearly you 2 somehow are in on that message.

I apparently don't know how to use the forum correctly.

its on the general forum..

Still confused as I can't find it except when I click my profile. Anyhow, I do want a bar at my house (outside as I said).

But going to sit at a bar is something we like for the social aspect. Even with all the snarky curmudgeons.

Harvest is about the best we have.
There are places who pour more..........but it's jus-not-done-right.
Country Clubs are volume (more served the better) bartenders...........get it close & move on.

I saw one poster was more or less.......................do it at home.
True, but sometimes............I want 2 B waited on.

Enjoy the journey.

Not just: Mr. Helpful.............I can Identify as: Mr. C.

(maybe a future profile update)

This is about what we have found and I agree, sometimes I want to be waited on also, and meet new people. Thanks for the tip on the country clubs. I'll stick to vodka soda or beer at them.

LOL I recall being really annoyed the first time you posted on one of my thread. I even stopped coming to the forum for a bit because I saw so many negative posts (not just that one from you).

Anyhow, these days I tend to agree with your posts more than most so I guess sometimes ya gotta get a feel for the place.

Agree
I posted it yesterday but my go to is Marks Prime in Ocala. I have simpler tastes than you possibly but it's a good spot all around.

Sounds like you should bartend so we can all taste & decide! Please tell us when & where.

I'll give it a try. We had Prime 3 in Leesburg and had a great bartender there and the steaks were pretty good. Pricey though.

My wife tells me I should do that for my retirement side gig. I'd probably enjoy it, but making drinks for 5 or 6 friends doesn't equal serving a bar full of snarky curmedgeons. I give credit to the bartenders because while I can make a good cocktail, I don't know how good I'd be under pressure and that busy.

My Bride says I could use a filter.

I have an A/C filter, a few oil filters, a few air filters, a water filter (not Nova, but that's a whole noth'r story)................so I'm not sure what she means.

:D

Love Mark's meat...................no posts, you know what I mean.

I have zero tolerance (on myself) for drinking and driving........so I have water there.

Agree. I go with friends, one designated. Not worth it

Don't kno about U..............I look bac and think, boy you were stupid.

:22yikes:

& lucky
