This episode was late because I was busy making your boss’s bonus disappear one martini at a time.

Q4 in Midtown was stadium math 600-cover nights, espresso martinis with perfect froth, corporate bonuses flowing, and repeat guests who expect you to remember their drink from 2018It took me until two days after Valentine’s Day to fully recover.

Episode 9 is the full survival report: what actually sold, what tested the workflow, how relationships pay better than tricks, and why boring systems beat heroic improvisation behind the bar.

If you want to level up your tips, tighten your service, and understand how high-volume luxury hospitality really works, this one’s for you.

They know your name, your schedule, and they’re so comfortable you half-expect them to start bussing tables — or worse, so settled in they’re ready to help you take drink orders, like you don’t already have it under control. 🍸 In this episode, G-Walk serves up the unfiltered truth about regulars: the ones who feel like part of the staff, the ones who think they own their barstool, and the ones who blur the line between “loyal guest” and “unpaid intern.” We’re breaking down how to celebrate their consistency without surrendering control, how to keep relationships genuine without losing boundaries, and why even the best vibes mean nothing if the register isn’t ringing.

And through it all, here’s the truth: regulars are the heartbeat of any great bar. Their loyalty, stories, and support make the long nights worth it — and we’re grateful for every one of them. But at the end of the night, great vibes and good business have to go hand in hand — one without the other just doesn’t keep the doors open.
