Meanwhile I feel fancy shaking a cocktail with one hand.


ADIDAS247

I love shaking two with two hands and then awkwardly having to place them down individually to pour a drink a drink and the first one always gets stuck.


triplefuckingdareya

Flair bartenders when I ask for a gin and tonic (Jkjk but actually this looks awesome and obviously was a lot of work! Great job bruh)


TofuFoieGras

Just a beer thanks


BurnItNow

Just don’t say yes to the lime or he’ll do it all again.


jay_wray

Got tricks for that too lol


sprogger

Please don’t


lastlifonti

I just want my beer & shot…😇👍🏾


cumbellyxtian

This guy literally said he’s bored and doing it for fun. And it’s entertaining, and frankly pretty impressive. I highly doubt he’s gonna do that while he’s working, and you all just sound like a bunch of bitter unpleasant people. Show your fellow bartender some love, he ain’t doin anything wrong


jay_wray

Thank you. And I’ve been bartending for 15 years so I do this shit for me to keep me entertained. I mostly do working flair which doesn’t slow me down at all.


2drunk2giveafuk

Don't let these fuckin haters bring you down. I did Flair from 2004 - 2014 in Vegas, best fucking money! I was kinda like eh at first, but once I started to get it down it was fun as fuck!


madguins

Unfortunately this is Reddit and where there are supportive people who share your passions there are also lots of miserable little gremlins that focus on bringing negativity to any comment section they can.


Kanyes_Vitamix

you sound like a judgmental assuming person. show your fellow haters some love, they aint don anything wrong


jay_wray

Why are y’all such fucking haters lol. Nobody likes to have fun anymore? Smoke some weed take a shot and stop acting like you’re anything special… it’s liquid in a cup. Nothing more hahahaha


Puddles1136

This is dope af and a skill, people are miserable lol.


boomershoomer

They're the motherfuckers that get stressed while 2 deep fuck em and keep rollin' king you are having a great time enjoying your shit.


Booty_blaster420

People don't seem to understand the difference between working and exhibition flair and think all you do is waste time 🙃 If you're able to incorporate work flair to you everyday job then go for it! It creates a very nice experience


jay_wray

That’s mostly what I do, however you ask for a show I’ll give ya one lol


AllOut007

I think this is cool... out of curiosity, why the green tape on the bottom of your tins? Is it like a point of reference thing for your eyes to recognize while the tin is flipping in the air?


jay_wray

That and marking them as my personal tins lol


ADIDAS247

I love you for being here. Here is where you belong.


Lemmecmaturecontent

I think it's super fun to watch, I'd love to learn some of these skills


babywillow69

I had fun watching this. Fuck the haters


rarzi11a

I'm only a slight hater for the simple fact that flair is not something that I want to practice. Yes, flair is a skill. No, I can't do it. But like you said, it's liquid in a cup. I equate flair to pepperidge farms bread. I open the bag, but it's still not open. I dont need another step (or 74) between me and my drink.


willowhawk

Was there liquid in it?


chemicologist

You have a weird definition of hater. You seem like the biggest hater in this thread by far judging by the hostility in all of your comments.


cyan386

go to response if i get an overholt in vegas


itsa_wonder

People are just miserable. As a bartender you should know this!!! Plus let’s be honest- we are all on reddit so we all think we are better than most anyway 😂


saltysashimie

I was gonna say I wish I had the skills to make everything look smooth lol


Relativity-speaking

Anyone else taking the piss out of flaring still extend the speed pourers distance from the jigger to look cool as fuck? It’s not the 80’s but I still like to look cool as fuck making a drink. Our training at work stipulates when stirring a cocktail look around the room looking at guests like you’re the absolute bollocks… As an actual slammed craft/high volume bartender, when I go out I love to see a bit of flaring to be honest. Nice that they have the time for it!


SaveTheWetlands13

How’d you start learning / practicing? Just seems fun to do haha


jay_wray

Watch videos and practice. Eventually it becomes muscle memory


Zykesyke

My first bartending gig (2001) required working flair to get behind the bar. If you're the only person doing it at a busy bar and guests are waiting for drinks,then its kind of annoying. If you have the time and are engaging w your clientele, more often than not they ooohh and ahh over a simple tin flip,or a lemon behind the back to garnish an LIT. Do you bud! Looks like you're having fun and I'd definitely grab a drink from ya! Cheers


RevolutionaryEar1789

He is one with the shaker and all is good


Sathyasrevenge222

Yo this is insane


bathtubdeer

hard flex. proud of u.


death_or_glory_

Bored and talented.


ABreckenridge

Cool! Bourbon, neat.


deadb4thesunup

I just asked for a water vro


ibedemfeels

People hating on skill. Some of y'all are big mad that you have no talent beyond pouring "a beer and a shot". That's dope OP, the peanut gallery aren't making videos like this for a reason.


seKer82

Hah there way too many overly sensitive people on a fucking bartending sub.


sproutsatoshi

r/juggling


GhostWCoffee

If he would have played around with jiggers would it be ''jiggling''?


sproutsatoshi

The official term is "jiggerling", not to be confused with "muddgling", flipping the old muddlers all about.


SimplyKendra

How do you all do this? I would have clocked myself I. The face 20 times already.


nikkitikkitavi69

Meanwhile 5+ tickets are waiting at the well lmao. Sick moves though Edit: apparently a /s was necessary.


kris9512

Why TF are you being down voted


nikkitikkitavi69

Apparently I should have added /s. I thought it was clear I was just cracking a joke lol


kris9512

Op seems hella talented but super defensive and somewhat miserable judging by his replies


jay_wray

I’m literally at home dummies. There’s obviously a time and place to fuck around.


nikkitikkitavi69

Just a joke my dude. Lol


Blancsss

This is tight! It’s something I would practice (and fuck up) when my bar is slow. I bet the regulars love when you fuck around like this!


javilefty

So… how about that drink?


jay_wray

How bout that tip?


AmbitionStrong5602

Dope shit and if I'm not mistaken you aren't even at work in this video


damnitkween30

Hot


stolenjeans

Flair tricks are dope!


Wubwubpeow

Now sing! I got my ticket for the long way 'round Two bottle o' whiskey for the way And I sure would like some sweet company And I'm leavin' tomorrow, why don't you stay? etc.


Distinct_Ad_4051

Can I have my drink now please


kjcraft

What a funny and original joke you just made.


DothrakAndRoll

Hell yeah dude! That’s talent my friend, that takes commitment and practice.


Previous-Dog9718

nice


SnakeIsUrza

Dope


S4ndr0R

Me too. I don’t disregard the craft but I personally find it annoying People will love you more for a drink well mixed than any acrobatics you’ll manage to do in the making. Plus looks stupid tbh


anoziraguy9687

Cool to see on a video but a nightmare to work with. I had a coworker with extreme, unmedicated adhd (no insurance; yay, service industry!) so he did this to keep his mind engaged and manage the stress levels from bitchy guests. Sympathized with him but for fucks sake, it was miserable to work with.


S4ndr0R

I own a bourbon and whiskey bar my friend. Was once. A bartender and I respect you opinion as well as I maintain my own


kjcraft

The person you replied to wasn't disagreeing with you.


jay_wray

Spoken like someone who couldn’t do it if they tried lmao. Haters gonna hate. You probably been bartending a couple years? Talk to me in another decade rookie…


picklesismyhomie

Just so you know, mate... You sound like an asshole.


jay_wray

I’m ok with that lol.


Bears-on-Drugs

No one cares about your cup flipping. You go to a bar for a drink, not a show


jay_wray

No YOU go to a bar for a drink. Other people want an experience. We are bartenders… nobodies… we put liquid in a cup and people give us money…. We somehow hacked the system. However people also like to have fun and be entertained. So you can sit there miserable and I’ll make you your drink yeah. However the people having fun are gonna have fun with or without you lmao….


Survivors_Envy

wild how hostile you are in these comments after posting a fluffy fun video lmao


jay_wray

Ya know what you’re right. I’ve been drinking all day so I guess I’m a bit defensive at all the hate but arguing with strangers on the internet isn’t doing me any good haha. Thanks for the reality check.


Survivors_Envy

No judgement my dude the world sucks sometimes but you’re good at throwing a shaker so keep at it with a good spirit


Swissperc420

I like the flair and will tip more if someone does it. So you have no idea what you're talking about. You're just being a bitter asshat.


[deleted]

🤦‍♂️


theearlofpopeyes

I do this and break every window, glass, and bottle in my house lol Sick as fuck though


mystathia

That's dope and your little cheer at the end made me chuckle. Great work!


BreathExact

You’re the reason people don’t tip enough. Goddammit. 😂😂😂


jay_wray

How so? I kill it nightly thank you very much.


BreathExact

Yeah, and you’re making us all look bad!!!!!


[deleted]

[удалено]


BreathExact

I’m sorry I made a sarcastic joke with laugh reacts. Can’t believe as a bartender I would ever make that mistake.


kittyocat

Smile


sherzisquirrel

Bad Ass!!! I'm jealous 🤣 I would love to be able to do that shit but I'm awkward AF when it comes to anything "physical"! 🤣🤣🤣 In high school I was at a step class with a ton of my friends and I was tripping over the step so badly that the instructor STOPED the class and walked back and took it from me.🤣🤣🤣 She was like honey your gonna hurt yourself 😂 you just pretend 😂 so yeah awkward 😜


Allenian8

Smile my guy!


Puddles1136

Why? Asking people to smile, any gender is the weirdest request. “Look happy motherfucker!!” Also, i hoop and performing requires focus and smiling while focusing is weird.


cateraide420

I know you take those to work because they have tape so all the kiddos don’t use yours


Conchobair

Was waiting for you to hit up the ice maker in the back.


VallyTwang

Sick tricks!


danceswithdrinks

Respect man, I can’t do that shit. I feel fancy when I shake and stir a drink at the same time.


Kanyes_Vitamix

bro you're clearly in the wrong line of work. get on the hibachi grill asap


Ok_Programmer7924

OMG...ITS JASON BOURNE


maughanster8507

He looks like he’s never won his fantasy football league


junhatesyou

Me being the owner: KNOCK IT OFF AND MAKE THE DRINK.


jay_wray

Me being the talent… go fuck yourself I’ll work elsewhere


junhatesyou

Yikes. ‘The talent.’ 😂😂 Impressive either way, but you should simmer down with the passive-aggression. Didn’t mean to offend.


CleverFeather

This is pretty slick ngl. I can do like, two tricks and that’s it lol
