Bartenders Dating — On Your Schedule
Bartenders close out when the city goes home — a 2am clock-out is not a vibe killer, it's the job.
Why dating is hard for bartenders
- •You finish work when most dates start sleeping
- •Your Friday night is behind a bar, not on a date
- •Tuesday/Wednesday weekends are the norm
Why bartenders are worth dating
- ✓You read people at a glance — it's literally the job
- ✓Brunch on a Wednesday hits different
- ✓You've got stories and an opinion on every drink ever invented
