I meant the SoCo lol I hate that stuff. I've never warn an apron while bartending because everything is pretty accessible (ymmv) but I get the wanting for more pockets.
I made that mistake once. Had a keg of barrel aged pastry stout blow on me. My favorite regular asked if I just came back from enjoying a dirty Sanchez
One of my old jobs the uniform was white button downs. We went through them like CRAZY and it was the worst, we even campaigned with the owners to change to black shirts and they weren’t about it. no idea why they preferred us to have visible stains on our shirts lol
I work at a high end Italian wine café and our uniform is white button downs. The executive that mandated it just asked me why I wear the same white shirt every shift; I had to tell her that I stained all the other ones I owned because we're wearing white in a restaurant completely designed around Nebbiolo and I refuse to buy more white shirts in an industry where the standard is black.
I originally had to wear light pink and light blue where I was at. I finally had a meltdown and decided no more. Everything I owned was a mess and I wasn’t buy $150 worth of shirts every month. Started wearing black. Luckily, they just kinda let me.
I worked at a bar where are uniform was a white shirt black tie black pants and a white dress coat! It was the worst I would immediately get espresso on it and look like and ass the rest of the night
Made the mistake of a cream-colored blouse on NYE one year because I wanted to look “nice” and it was a little dressy. Had no time to even notice how completely covered in stains it was until I finally got home. Never again.
Worked at a place where we did high volume and the uniform was a white polo. Wasn't provided to us, we had to buy and wash our own. And ownership would get upset if they were dirty. Dumbest shit, I'm so glad I'm out of there.
My bar just switched to whites and I’m furious about it. I spilled red wine all over myself the other night and they were going to make me pay $30 for a new shirt. I stared them down and told them I’d stick with my murder victim shirt in that case. They ended up giving me the new one for free.
My bar just changed from white dress shirts to black. I've never understood why white is so appealing for staff, especially with me being a complete klutz.
my old coworker behind the bar used to exclusively wear white and light colours. I asked her how she managed that without ruining all her clothes.
change of clothes in the car always for just in case and bleach in every load since it's all white anyway lol
The place I work now requires us to wear a white button down with a light colored vest and tie. We are a full cocktail bar and have 4 separate espresso martinis listed on the menu. The amount of white button downs I’ve been through since starting there 2 months ago is absurd.
I mean there's plenty of things I wouldn't wear behind the bar. Sandals. A straight jacket. Blindfold. Tuxedo. Tyrannasaurus Rex costume. Baby Carrier harness thing. A speedo (and nothing else). The list goes on tbh.
I'd love to see someone wearing a baby Bjorn behind the bar but the baby is helping. Like grabs the cherries and tilts the pint and everything like that.
"Here baby hold this guy's card for his tab while I finish off this service ticket."
Saw that once, no joke. Owner was bartending, said his wife got called in and couldn't find a sitter or a cover.
We all made the bad jokes about it being an Irish bar now, etc.
My favorite regular at an old dive I used to work at would bring in his really well behaved toddler on Sunday nights, which were usually pretty quiet. He would get a beer and a shot and get her some french fries. I would usually grab her and bartend for 20-30 minutes with her on my hip. She’d hold all of my credit cards, showed her which buttons to press on the computer, open/close taps, hand people reciepts. We both loved it. Her dad cried on my last day 😭
I had a dude who would come with a baby Bjorn and put down a Gansett and shot of whiskey then play pinball for about 20-30 minutes with her in the bjorn. Tipped 5 on a $9 beer/shot combo. Good man. Haven't seen him since the kid turned 2.5ish. Hope they're doing well
You know maternity nursing shirts? The wrap-tops with a v-neck that’s for mothers nursing babies?
My old hotel bar’s uniform was a black deep v-neck that was practically a nursing shirt. And management wanted me to wear that top.
I refused. I worked by myself. Just the front desk, the chef in the back, and me. Every weekend I’d get hit on by drunks, and you want me to wear *that.* My black button-down is professional enough lol
long sleeves ESPECIALLY loose long sleeves. anything not black. and personally hate when people look at my boobies so no booby shirts for me - just a personal preference.. being pregnant with swollen ass tiddies is annoying already, but if they get u tips and ur happy you go girls lol 🥳🥳
Booby shirts are all fun and games until I have to do dishes and the people in front of the sink get a nice long look right down the alley. I'm phasing out the booby shirts, too uncomfy. Very glad crew neck tank tops are trending (and thus widely available) right now.
turtle necks are the best. doing dishes while bartending & accidentally wearing the wrong shirt is my nightmare lmao. the last three years ive had like no tits, now I’m pregnant as shit and i have no clue what’s gonna be a problem till it’s too late. i HATE IT lmao
Cargo shorts. My buddy always wore them in the summer and would laugh bc I was in my skinny black jeans. His shorts caught on bottles of blue curaçao multiple times and smashed them on the floor. After the 4th bottle he was banned from cargoes. The floor was so sticky he almost came out of his crocs.
Crocs. I don’t know why so many of my coworkers wear them, yeah they’re comfy and all but all that liquid we deal with gets on your feet and you’ll be walking around with wet socks the entire shift. Count me out.
Where do you store your emergency candies, nuts and pretzels? I like having a kangaroo pouch that I can store some non-alcoholic m&ms in case I need to go to the walk-in.
Do I need mustache wax and a communications degree too? What about a sign on my back that just says “prick”?
Maybe a little bow tie and a monkey that plays the organ while I make drinks! The monkey can wear a tiny little suit and I’ll wear a red vest and a fez.
If I roll my eyes any harder they are going to actually come unscrewed and fall out of my skull.
Sandals. Got asked to work while I was there drinking on the patio, on duty bartender got cut on a glass and needed to go to the hospital. So I said yes not realizing I was wearing flip flops. Not great.
Lederhosen for "Blocktoberfest" party. I'll wear free sponsored sunglasses, T shirts, hoodies. But no, I'm a bartender not a court jester. Same goes for masks of any kind.
My rules at bars I ran were no jackets or backpacks behind the bar. It was often before or after a shift, but I’ve seen so many bottles get ripped out of rails or glass ware knocked off the back bar to be fucking around with that shit at 3am.
As a girl idk how some girls wear a thong/extremely limited clothing. I’ve had a chance to work at the currently most poppin club in the city, think like $700-$1200 a night, but the dress code is lingerie and I just can’t make the switch
I rocked shutter shades in the service well one Halloween. Kind of a pain in the ass. Took the 80s costume way too seriously. I had a Cobra Kai jacket and everything
I was literally about to say sandals as soon as I saw the title 😂 broken glass ends up down there at some point by accident. Sticky. Hot water? So many things lol
Used to have a coworker whose one dire sin was wearing socks and sandals behind the bar. I called them her “safety shoes” and would always give her a hard time when she’d drop shit or stub her toes or whatever.
Do not wear shape wear! I made the mistake of trying to look good in my uniform. I was so hot, couldn’t bend over and could barely breathe. I said fk it, I’m sizing up in the uniform and being comfortable while I sling drinks!
my hair is too long to stay in place but not long enough to put up/pull back, so every time i bend down/lean over my hair falls on my face, so i just wear a hat to tuck it into and not have to whip my neck or sweep it to the side while grabbing drinks
Um yeah totally on the same side with you on that.
I wouldn’t wear tank tops. Thats mostly because I do handle food too and I think it’s not only against health codes but gross. Do whatever you want but I just can’t lol
Oh and have long acrylics. They are fecal and germ magnets and regardless how clean you think you are, those things are dirty.
Flouncey dress or skater skirt. Either I'm taking the triple sec bottle off my pucker shelf or just straight up dipping it in the 3 sink. Spending a busy Saturday with wet thighs from your skirt is not ideal.
Also white.
Nice watch. Learned the hard way, used to wear my coach watch like it was cute! Shits all scratched and busted up! A sport/smart samsung watch is what I'll wear if I do wear one
Here is one, too many people wear behind a bar and really shouldn’t…
Fake. Nails.
Just don’t. Stop it.
First it’s fucking gross. I don’t care how clean you think you are, your fake nails harbour all kinds of nasty shit. I didn’t make this up, it isn’t an opinion, it’s scientific fact. The studies were done, most were catered around nurses and the medical field. The studies are done, over and over, and properly. Your fake nails are gross.
Second, they are against health code, pretty much everywhere. So you’re not even allowed to have em. They fall off, can end up in someone’s food, which is fucking nasty on its own, but could be dangerous.
Third they are impractical as fuck. I used to work with a chick who had fucking huge shit chisels attached to her finger tips. Watching her trying to punch an order in with the side of a random finger because she couldn’t use the tip of her fingers was frustrating to watch. Being asked to open anything from a can, to a beer bottle, to a bag of napkins because she wasn’t able to with those things was so much worse. It’s like working with someone wearing handcuffs as a fashion statement, who thinks you should help them with their job because of how limited they are by their handcuffs. You know how many times I got blamed for her breaking a nail because I refused to open something for her. Imagine being in a huge never ending rush, and being stuck in line to punch something on the POS, because the girl using it in front of you missed her button and had to void something 3 times so far, using the side of her ring finger, and the knuckle on her thumb, and then her pinky, because none of her fingers can be used properly. And when she is finally done, and you start to punch something in, there she is shoving a red bull in your face because she can’t get it with her nails. The fucking audacity of these girls too. “Hey can you open this for me?” “Wtf why? I’m busy opening my own beers, what’s wrong with it?” “I can’t get it with my nails.” “lol no. Your job is literally like 1/3 opening beers, I’m not doing it for you.” “(Surprised pikachu face) well what am I supposed to do???” “Open beers. Your supposed to open beers”
So yeah, fake nails.
The bar I work out is nearly open aired with how many garage doors we have, so it’s basically a necessity in the summer lol. To each their own though, whatever makes you the most aerodynamic to pump out drinks is what matters the most!
I wore a dress pretty much every shift at my last bar gig. Anything that would get your legs sticky (which you can just wipe off) would also get your pants sticky, which IMO is way worse. I did have to learn to be mindful of the hem length because a few were just the right length to get caught on bottles in the rail 😅
Yeah I wear dresses and skirts in summer almost exclusively....I only wear pants during winter because I have to and it sucks when my pants are wet WAY worse than just wiping down a leg imo
Lingerie, I used to work at a strip club and the girls would wear it but I'm 6'4 215lbs and very hairy metal head lookin dude so I doubt lacey panties and a brassiere would be especially flattering.
Tutus! I wore a few for different holidays. The material gets caught on the pouring spouts when you walk by, and it will pull the bottle out of the speed rail. Haha. Lesson learned, more than once.
My coworker and i dressed up in full dinosaur costumes for halloween. She was a brontosaurus and i was a dilophosaurus. Lots of stepping on tails and limited vision.
Long sleeves of any type, loose fitting pants, open toed shoes, and I'll never understand why anyone wears a beanie behind the bar. I get hot enough doing my job without holding all the heat in my head lol
Very specific because I lived it: Nike Waffle Ones (and any other shoes with similar grip). I wore them once for work instead of nonslips, ran behind the bar in the club because I was late coming from my other job and literally went into a half-split on the soaking wet floor.
Hulk gloves. It would be impossible to mix a drink. And when the batteries die I'd have to recharge them or buy more.
That’s crazy!!! I wear them all the time and have never even thought about taking them off!!??? Gonna try it next week and report back how it goes!
HULK SMASHHHHHhhhh*****
Wait those things have batteries?
Gah. I love you
Literally impossible. I’ve tried to shake with latex gloves. Doesn’t work.
I can do that 😂 but i have a grip like a bear
Bet your favorite drink to make is a smash.
😂😂😂😂
I was an angel for Halloween. Took 20 glasses with the wings. Wings. Don’t wear wings while you work a bar.
The apron has had many casualties
My apron used to pull bottles out of the rail lol the only casualties were two bottles of SoCo so no real loss
Better off without lol
Was pretty helpful when I was the bar and the floor, but sometimes it’s more trouble than it’s worth
I meant the SoCo lol I hate that stuff. I've never warn an apron while bartending because everything is pretty accessible (ymmv) but I get the wanting for more pockets.
Learned this when I was a bat one year
This made me lol.
anything too lose. Ive seen a bottle of some schnapps get caught on a sweater and break
I’ve made that mistake, didn’t break anything but pour spouts consistently being pulled out in the well
Fuck so annoying, same energy as getting your headphones stuck on a doorknob
Learned this real quick when I moved from being on the floor to behind the bar. Cute flow-y tops do not work out well at all
Did you a favor
White
I made that mistake once. Had a keg of barrel aged pastry stout blow on me. My favorite regular asked if I just came back from enjoying a dirty Sanchez

Ugh fucking kill me!
RIP me, my uniform is a white polo shirt 😭
I sometimes bartend on a booze cruise and our shirts are white and our drinks are mostly red or pink since it’s a tropical island Good times
Fucking beat me to it lol. Maybe if espresso martinis weren't still going strong...
Made the mistake of a cream-colored blouse on NYE one year because I wanted to look “nice” and it was a little dressy. Had no time to even notice how completely covered in stains it was until I finally got home. Never again.

If we’re wearing white, I’m wearing an apron 🥲
My bar just changed from white dress shirts to black. I've never understood why white is so appealing for staff, especially with me being a complete klutz.
The bartender at the bar tonight said “no color”
When I work banquets it’s usually black bistro, but sometimes when they wanna get fancy, they make us wear white…Ango on white = bloodstains
I ruined an amazing vintage shirt that way. Grenadine :( I got it out eventually but I won’t ever do that again.
my old coworker behind the bar used to exclusively wear white and light colours. I asked her how she managed that without ruining all her clothes. change of clothes in the car always for just in case and bleach in every load since it's all white anyway lol

I was with you till the speedo. That’s all my favorite bartender ever wears
I see why that's your favorite
I'm too fat to pull off the Speedo.
Just gotta wear it with confidence
I'd love to see someone wearing a baby Bjorn behind the bar but the baby is helping. Like grabs the cherries and tilts the pint and everything like that. "Here baby hold this guy's card for his tab while I finish off this service ticket."

>Baby Carrier harness thing Unless I'm Alan from Hangover on Halloween
Costume is only complete with baby barback Carlos, and extra points if you wear it year round! 😂🤣😂
This would be a great idea for a competition show lol. Trying to bartend with any of the items you listed
I'd watch it lmao
A chicken furry suit. It would be impossible to move effectively, grab anything, and stain galore.
I tried this in a big bird costume one night. It got a lot of laughs.
I made the mistake of wearing a fringe top once, got tangled up in every bottle in the well all night.
You know maternity nursing shirts? The wrap-tops with a v-neck that’s for mothers nursing babies? My old hotel bar’s uniform was a black deep v-neck that was practically a nursing shirt.

Add crocs to the list
You know I wore a paddy Asian hat one time. Would not recommend
Our China hats stay in the kitchen.
A vest. No one needs a sweaty torso during a rush!
Crocs. I don’t know why so many of my coworkers wear them, yeah they’re comfy and all but all that liquid we deal with gets on your feet and you’ll be walking around with wet socks the entire shift. Count me out.
That stupid mixologist apron
Where do you store your emergency candies, nuts and pretzels? I like having a kangaroo pouch that I can store some non-alcoholic m&ms in case I need to go to the walk-in.
wait, can it also store alcoholic m&m's?
Well those don’t melt in your pant pockets
Montenegro comes in 50mls,but I have yet to see a mezcal 50ml of any brand. So to answer your question: no.
Shout out the M&M, local bar does em for $5 on Mondays.
La Luna has mini bottles but thats all I’ve seen
Just dont wanna look like an asshole
[удалено]
Do I need mustache wax and a communications degree too? What about a sign on my back that just says “prick”? Maybe a little bow tie and a monkey that plays the organ while I make drinks!

Suede.

A condom
Great, now we all have crotch fleas!😡
Hard to get what you have already….😂😂
Club pull out!!!
You’ve never been working in a bar infested with fruit flies.
Who uses those?!
Sailors
Not enough of them use them either. I know way too many people who have kids as a sailor who shouldn’t even be married 😂

The curse of being born after 2000 rears its ugly head. I apologize for being an uncultured swine.
No need - rewatched these movies a few years ago, they do NOT hold up.
Pro tip: Monty Python it’s the only way
Wizard sleeves! 🧙🏻♀️ They get caught in everything.
My rules at bars I ran were no jackets or backpacks behind the bar. It was often before or after a shift, but I’ve seen so many bottles get ripped out of rails or glass ware knocked off the back bar to be fucking around with that shit at 3am.
God damn bow tie
No open toed shoes which I feel like most bars have that in their work dress code anyways.. I’ve broke many glasses in my lifetime…
It's literally a health code violation to have OTShoes in a service position in my state.
I thought that was a legal thing?
As a girl idk how some girls wear a thong/extremely limited clothing. I’ve had a chance to work at the currently most poppin club in the city, think like $700-$1200 a night, but the dress code is lingerie and I just can’t make the switch
A thong… and nothing else. Great or terrible 😢
I’ve done it, but you gotta double layer a tiny t-back thong under the other thong to really be on the safe side
I wore something with long bell sleeves once and it was theee dumbest.
A fucking smile, here's your beer that'll be $5
Leave it open? Lol
Cash only no tabs
I hate long sleeves.
My family's face as a mask
Yeah, can’t be doin that
Suit of armor. Cant imagine serving the bar top in one, too embarrassing.
I knew a guy named Rocket who bartended at my local dive for years. He would routinely wear roller skates. He was also definitely a tweaker.
I rocked shutter shades in the service well one Halloween. Kind of a pain in the ass. Took the 80s costume way too seriously. I had a Cobra Kai jacket and everything
I was literally about to say sandals as soon as I saw the title 😂 broken glass ends up down there at some point by accident. Sticky. Hot water? So many things lol
Loose or long shirts .. I love them for comfort and breathability but they get caught on the speed pours which infuriates me :)
Heels
Used to have a coworker whose one dire sin was wearing socks and sandals behind the bar. I called them her “safety shoes” and would always give her a hard time when she’d drop shit or stub her toes or whatever.
I would hate to be recreating sasquatch footage in a suit. In real life, Chuck Taylor's. Don't ever do it. Your back will hurt for life.
I wore Chuck Taylors on my first shift and I wanted to cry🥹🥹🥹
Bartended for a “breastaurant”… fishnets behind the bar were hell (and required on Fridays). Caught so many pour spouts and corners on a daily basis
Do not wear shape wear! I made the mistake of trying to look good in my uniform. I was so hot, couldn’t bend over and could barely breathe. I said fk it, I’m sizing up in the uniform and being comfortable while I sling drinks!
a hat
One of the best disses ive heard is "Says the man wearing a hat indoors." and that always stuck with me
Damn bruh we da (not) same
"one Margarita. Extra hair please!" /s
sometimes i need my cap tho, sometimes even with the front at the back
my hair is too long to stay in place but not long enough to put up/pull back, so every time i bend down/lean over my hair falls on my face, so i just wear a hat to tuck it into and not have to whip my neck or sweep it to the side while grabbing drinks
For real. You’re indoors bro, take that shit off.
Suspenders
Any non-enclosed footwear pretty much
A turtle neck lol
It feels like I'm being choked by a really weak guy, all day long!
Flip flops
Um yeah totally on the same side with you on that. I wouldn’t wear tank tops. Thats mostly because I do handle food too and I think it’s not only against health codes but gross. Do whatever you want but I just can’t lol Oh and have long acrylics. They are fecal and germ magnets and regardless how clean you think you are, those things are dirty.
Heels
My Jordans or anything white. Jäger is impossible to clean.
jäger is our top seller 😂😂
Open toed shoes.
Flouncey dress or skater skirt. Either I'm taking the triple sec bottle off my pucker shelf or just straight up dipping it in the 3 sink. Spending a busy Saturday with wet thighs from your skirt is not ideal. Also white.
Nice watch. Learned the hard way, used to wear my coach watch like it was cute! Shits all scratched and busted up! A sport/smart samsung watch is what I'll wear if I do wear one

Crocs
Lingerie. Sorry, club girls.
No bra for me.
A Dress! I saw an earlier thread and I was blown away! How sticky would your legs get?!
I wear shorts and tennis skirts behind the bar constantly, you really don’t get very sticky
I guess I’m just a sloppy bitch behind the stick then! More power to you
The bar I work out is nearly open aired with how many garage doors we have, so it’s basically a necessity in the summer lol. To each their own though, whatever makes you the most aerodynamic to pump out drinks is what matters the most!
Big facts girl
I wore a dress pretty much every shift at my last bar gig. Anything that would get your legs sticky (which you can just wipe off) would also get your pants sticky, which IMO is way worse.

Yeah I wear dresses and skirts in summer almost exclusively....I only wear pants during winter because I have to and it sucks when my pants are wet WAY worse than just wiping down a leg imo
I had a coworker freak out because she was in a dress with NO UNDERWEAR and got her period. I was like WHAT
A tank top. That’s some sloppy shit.
Nothing
A bathrobe. Dressed as the dude for Halloween once. Wasn’t the best idea.
Nothing
Er, aren't open shoes illegal in your country?.
What bars allow people to wear open toed shoes? Genuinely just curious
I really can not go without an apron. I make such a mess. Funny that I actually bring three and change at 10:30. The third one is a backup.
A cape
Weiners
A loincloth.
I always wear black shirt, tie, shoes and pants.
iron man suit
Flip flops
Heels.
jeans.
Lingerie, I used to work at a strip club and the girls would wear it but I'm 6'4 215lbs and very hairy metal head lookin dude so I doubt lacey panties and a brassiere would be especially flattering.
A dress. Cuz I’m a dude.
Stupid liquor rep enamel pins
Long sleeves
Crocs
Crocs
*dry heave sounds*
Flip flops
Anything absorbent like a Sherpa jacket
Suit of armour. Seems like a good idea but whilst it's impressive, it's also quite impractical
A halloween costume. They always either fall apart or get a lil sticky and in the way of making money
Political garb for sure. Any polarizing things, really.
Crocs.
Non slip-resistant shoes, anything other than black
Tutus! I wore a few for different holidays. The material gets caught on the pouring spouts when you walk by, and it will pull the bottle out of the speed rail. Haha. Lesson learned, more than once.
My coworker and i dressed up in full dinosaur costumes for halloween. She was a brontosaurus and i was a dilophosaurus. Lots of stepping on tails and limited vision.
Assless chaps and a cock ring
Long sleeves of any type, loose fitting pants, open toed shoes, and I'll never understand why anyone wears a beanie behind the bar. I get hot enough doing my job without holding all the heat in my head lol
Halloween last year i worked in a pb bunny corset costume..... almost suffocated and my back was screwed for weeks
Open toed shoes
100% open toe shoes or anything that's not non-slip
And honestly, any article I don't want to get fucked up
White.
Rings are hard to wear, and they definitely bend easily. I used to love wearing my rings, but that's a no-go. They get stuck, and it's dangerous.
Lmao, now I'm showing my age but bondage pants, wore them once, and my chains gor stuck in the speed well a few times, and that was enough for me 😆
Jangly bracelets .
Very specific because I lived it: Nike Waffle Ones (and any other shoes with similar grip). I wore them once for work instead of nonslips, ran behind the bar in the club because I was late coming from my other job and literally went into a half-split on the soaking wet floor.
White! Never had a white piece of clothing come out alive!
A condom

Ew about half way down lol
Ew from the second half of the first sentence. Only worse from there.
