hmm.. I recently started working at a night club in San Francisco (Ruby Skye)
and I can tell you it's harder than you think. But you're right the drinks
tend to be a little simpler and less complicated. It's hard to tell what
drinks you should prepare for because they vary so much from region to
region.. not to mention east coast to west coast. The big ones around these
parts aside from the obvious mixed drinks and beer are:
patron shots
Irish car bomb
Jager bomb (all though its popularity is definitely fading)
Red Headed Slut
Kamikaze
Cosmo
Incredible Hulk (actually anything with Hpnotiq, lol)
LIIT
Washington Apple
Sex w/ an alligator (always by a group of chicks)
buttery nipple (chicks again)
and ofcourse...
Blow jobs and orgasms (ppl for some reason love to order these to make people
laugh.. always done in a joking manner)
When you get about two months in, you should write another post about what
turns out to be the popular drinks at your bar. I'd definitely be curious to
know. Also, I think 2Rude or Freelivin works at a night in New York.. they
can probably give you better advice than I can cos thats alot closer to your
area. Anyway good luck. :)
