Baylee’s Birthday Burger Bonanza

I’ve been writing a more personal column for Hour Detroit this year. Most recent one was about BAR LAW — a vague but real set of rules (mostly unspoken / some written on signs behind the bar) about how to act / order / exist in a bar. I’ve worked them (I’m a terrible bartender / I’m a great bowling counter guy) but mostly just drink in them, believing they are true third places in a world that’s increasingly lonely / separated / digitized but not socialized. 

I asked some of my favorite bartenders to chime in (thx @lebradman @body_by_pasta and especially @egyptian_licorice @bumbos_bar for providing the space for photos, which @chuknowak absolutely destroyed). 

And it’s not so much “clean up after yourself” as it is “could the world be a better place if we followed pub etiquette?” Who knows, who cares… but I did really like writing this one. It’s finally online (link in bio) & in print (free copy in your dentists office). 

Read the room. Don’t make it worse. Leave it better than you found it. Take your glasses back to the damn bar. Buy a drink for someone who needs it. Relax. Enjoy the world we’re in today for what it is. Don’t expect service from the world we knew before. It’s harder than ever before for everyone.

As I’m writing this, I’m currently getting served a draft beer by a bartender who looks like they wanna be anywhere else in the world than serving me a frosty Miller Lite.

That’s fair. I’ll tip. I’ll be kind. 

After all, I’ve got no clue what jerk might’ve come in here before me. All I know is that we’re in this together, so let’s have a drink and let’s take care of each other. Cheers!✨🍺
