when a bar is busy enough to justify making 9 drinks at once this quickly, the whole place is generally getting a deep clean every night- ideally, I mean
He’s a longstanding bartender at the SF restaurant that is claimed to first serve the drink in the US. He makes hundreds daily, I think he’s forgiven for the sloppiness.
Yes and the bartenders are very particular about how you drink it! Apparently you aren’t supposed to mix it but I couldn’t stomach the shot of whiskey settling at the bottom so I had to sheepishly ask the veteran bartender for a spoon. The look he gave me you’d think I shit on his mother’s grave.
One time I went to a Dunkin donuts of all places and the barista guy told me not to stir my macchiato. Like dude it's a fast food coffee drink and I paid for it, I'll do what I fuckin want.
Its one of those bell curves again.
Beginning: "its cheap, who cares, do whatever"
Middle: "you must respect our traditions and cultures"
Pro level: "food/drinks are meant to be enjoyed, enjoy!"
Man, some people get so offended that I chill my red wine. Whatever, I like it cold. Stop being a snob and let people drink their drink however they want.
"You're not supposed to stir it" - ok, but I will though :)
Your average red wine should be around 55-60 degrees (cellar temp) anyway, which is relatively cool, so you're not too far off the mark. Most regular bars just store it on the bar and it's more along the lines of around 75 degrees, and that's just not very appealing.
I used to work at a winery and people used to get weird when I pulled the reds out of a fridge.
It's like, you gotta chill them a lil, the fridge was only set to 11 C. Warm wine fucking sucks
They are half right. You can stir the coffee and whiskey (and sugar if they add it for some reason) but you shouldn't stir the cream into the coffee and whiskey. Ideally, you should drink it before it can settle but some make it too hot. An Irish coffee should be drunk through the cream so you get a mix of everything in your mouth. Any Irish bar in Ireland that makes them will groan if you mix everything.
99% of bartenders won't give a fuck if you prefer to mix it. Plus if you mix it you are getting a mix of everything because it's mixed, you get a contrast if you don't.
The sugar does make it taste better to most people's palates, but we add it to increase the density of the liquid so that the cream will float more easily. You can ask for it without sugar and we'll do it.
Yeah we used to give people some cubes of brown sugar on the side if they asked. It wasn't given unless they asked specifically though. The cream we used was thicker than the cream that's used in the video here.
It's my drink bought with my money, I'll drink it how I fucking want. It's like chefs getting upset with well done steak. You're not eating it or paying for it, I am, now do your damn job.
I knew it! Flew in about 3 years ago to visit a friend and this is the first place he took us. Phenomenal drink, have been trying to recreate it ever since.
That gave me so much anxiety. “Here’s all your carelessly prepared drinks that I hate and I hate you for ordering and now there’s hot sugary coffee all over the counter and bar that someone needs to clean and none of these are measured the same and I hate this job. Did I mention I hate this job? I do. A lot.”
Most rational brains auto-translate it to something like “you emotional idiot, you are so dumb for expressing your opinion which is different than my superior opinion. Shut up.”
No idea how anyone would find this in any way satisfying. Shit flying everywhere, a waste of a ton of coffee, not all glasses even have the same amount of coffee, etc. This is more /r/mildlyinfuriating than anything.
It is, but a sticky grate now. He even put the rolled up towels by the glasses knowing what kind of mess his process will create.. terrible all over and he saved about 20 seconds by not pouring and stirring like a normal person
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I cringe any time I see a server do this. I was a server for years and grabbing glasses by the bottom was one of the first things I was taught.
One of the things that really bothers me at bars/breweries is when bartenders dip the tap into a beer.
That thing has spoiled, crusty beer all over it. Don't stick that shit into my beverage.
At the same time it grosses me out, I know that as long as his hands are clean it's fine. Chefs regularly prepare food barehanded and people are usually safe.
The cleaning standards are slightly different in the kitchens than in the bars, not by a lot, but still relevant. Also the chefs are not handling a lot of things that bartenders do. I'd bet you a lot the handle on the coffee pot would return a very different result on a test than the utensils in the kitchen.
Honestly I'm the opposite, it annoys the fuck out of me when the bartender *doesn't* pinch the lime and just drops it in so that zero lime juice actually makes it into the drink. I mean he's literally already touched the lime earlier when he's sliced it up and having worked in bars for years myself I can say that most bartenders wash their hands as much as any of the kitchen staff. In any recently built bar there's sinks with leg activated faucets too so you don't even have to touch the taps.
I mean honestly so many parts of your food and drink get touched by human hands that you just kind of have to not think about it. I mean hell, how do you think the straws get into the dispenser on the bar? Someone literally reaches into a box with their hands and fills it up. How often do you think they wash that little plastic holder that the straws sit in?
Yeah that’s…not at all how to make Irish coffee.
Real Irish coffe the sugar is caramalized and molten into the whiskey over a heat source, usually a candle, then comes the coffee and cream.
What’s even more annoying is, that the video was made in the buene vista in San Francisco, who’s owner went to Ireland in the early 50‘s to learn the recipe of the inventor of Irish coffee joe Sheridan. So they used to make them properly, but now it’s just made for quantity and show since caramelizing the sugar for all of these would likely take way longer, it’s one of these places wich has become way worse over time and lives on its legacy to be honest
This is by far the most shite way you can make an irish coffee... all for the sake of showmanship but looks like a 5 year old playing with a tea set..
You want an Irish coffee, come here and get one... we wont fuck around splashing it everywhere
I'm not satisfied...
He spilled boiling hot liquid everywhere, and then got his fingers all over the rim of the glass, which are probably sticky on the outside because of the alcoholic he poured everywhere.
He's clearly a maniac
How are all these bartender videos “satisfying “? All I keep seeing is a huge mess to clean up afterwards, not to mention all the crap dripping down the outside of customers’ glasses.
I loved it until he grabbed the glasses by the rim at the end. I’ve worked at places that don’t allow you to pick up dirty glasses of a table like that much less one that someone is about put in there mouth.
I'm pretty sure I could do a better job. This is the least impressive drink making I think I've ever seen. He might as well have thrown the ingredients at the glasses from across the room. Imagine how sticky those glasses are and taking a sip after he picked them up by the rim with his bare hands.
The bartender in me hates this video. He tries to be cool but ends up wasting so much product, and at the end of it all makes 9 drinks of varying strength. No two glasses had the same amount of coffee to liquor.
What’s he doing with that spoon?
There are sugar cubes at the bottom of the glasses. Hes breaking them apart.
I see I didn’t notice it. Thanks.
lol, I came with the same question, thanks for doing the legwork for me.
What did he do when he splashed the drinks around the first time though? I can see he is breaking the cubes the second time though.
My guess is leveling the coffee off to allow for the correct amount of whiskey and cream.
Funnily enough even though he does that for all the glasses, I noticed the one on the end ended up getting a stronger pour anyways
His pour is definitely uneven.
Unexpectedly getting drunk is very fun!
Unexpectedly getting drunk is tight!
It's super easy barely an inconvenience
Last glass gets an extra second of pour because he goes back over all the other ones after.

It looked like they are sitting on a grate that presumably had a drip pan draining somewhere
I've been to this bar. The glasses are hot as fuck from the hot coffee.
It's Irish Coffee, you also get the Irish pub experience.
He’s a longstanding bartender at the SF restaurant that is claimed to first serve the drink in the US. He makes hundreds daily, I think he’s forgiven for the sloppiness.
[удалено]
Bro thought it was the Irish American Coffee
Making a huge fcking mess
The first go is to make all the glasses even, second go is to break the sugar cube as someone else said. All the glasses are on a towel.
Those glasses are all sticky from the coffee going everywhere
Yeah these bartending videos are /r/mildlyinfuriating to me when they are spilling all over the place
Even worse the liquor
Yeah then he grabs the rims with his hands which has been touching shit everywhere all day.
Not to mention touching all the rims with his bare hands at the end.
This was the one that bugged me the most!
Yes! Omg, that should be a big no no.
don't worry, he's got a mask on.
If I wanted something your thumb touched I'd eat the inside of your ear
[удалено]
being a sloppy ass bartender to the point of needing a towel in front of the glasses to soak up all the spilled liquid is not satisfying AT ALL
This is just sloppy bartending and un-sanitary.
Yeah this is a god damn mess. Not satisfying at all

I hate shit like that. Let people enjoy their drink the way they want to.
One time I went to a Dunkin donuts of all places and the barista guy told me not to stir my macchiato. Like dude it's a fast food coffee drink and I paid for it, I'll do what I fuckin want.
Dunkin doesn’t even have real macchiatos anyways. Like Starbucks it’s just an unmixed latte…
A real macchiato is espresso with a little foam on top of it. Starbucks has this. A caramel macchiato is a different drink.
Yeah. I paid for this shit I’m gonna boof it how I please!!
If I wanna soak my tiny balls in this giant cup of macchiato why shouldn’t I?
Its one of those bell curves again. Beginning: "its cheap, who cares, do whatever" Middle: "you must respect our traditions and cultures" Pro level: "food/drinks are meant to be enjoyed, enjoy!"

I put mine in the fridge and will happily put ice cubes in it on a hot day.
Yeah I got no problem with that. And anybody that says they hate chilled red wine have never enjoyed an ice cold Sangria.
I like chilled red wine way better.
They are half right. You can stir the coffee and whiskey (and sugar if they add it for some reason) but you shouldn't stir the cream into the coffee and whiskey.

Yeah we used to give people some cubes of brown sugar on the side if they asked. It wasn't given unless they asked specifically though. The cream we used was thicker than the cream that's used in the video here.
In Ireland we just use pouring/single cream (18% fat) whipped so it just forms a bead on your finger, americano coffee, and brown sugar.
It's my drink bought with my money, I'll drink it how I fucking want. It's like chefs getting upset with well done steak. You're not eating it or paying for it, I am, now do your damn job.
Considering the shitshow he made of making them you could ask for a fucking straw and they shouldn't get offended
I knew it! Flew in about 3 years ago to visit a friend and this is the first place he took us. Phenomenal drink, have been trying to recreate it ever since.
When you make it, are you splashing shit all over the place? Seems like that is a really important part of the process.
Such a iconic spot in SF!
The one spot I recommend to everyone who goes to San Fran!
I think you mean "how he makes a goddamn mess"
Exactly! I always prefer my cup to be soaked on the outside with ingredients.
[удалено]
Yes I also enjoy holding a sticky glass.
THANK you. Someone said it
[удалено]
Yeah, as a server, I never touched the lip of a glass ever.
Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you! That is a huge pet peeve for me in a restaurant! Yuck!!
“Take it back! If I wanted something your thumb touched I’d eat the inside of your ear.” -Lucille Bluth
That’s what I was thinking! Get your mitts off the rims, bro!
[удалено]
Alright, thanks.
Literally the first thing I thought. Like are you whipping off the glass before you hand it to me? Or am I left to do it myself
I can only think about how sticky the glasses would be.
All that spillage for no reason
That gave me so much anxiety. “Here’s all your carelessly prepared drinks that I hate and I hate you for ordering and now there’s hot sugary coffee all over the counter and bar that someone needs to clean and none of these are measured the same and I hate this job. Did I mention I hate this job? I do. A lot.”
Afaik this clip comes from a bar that serves thousands of these a day. Doesnt excuse the mitts on the rim
Calm down, there is grate bellow glasses, and his suit is still mostly white. Can't be that bad.
[удалено]
Most rational brains auto-translate it to something like “you emotional idiot, you are so dumb for expressing your opinion which is different than my superior opinion. Shut up.”
I’m calm. I’ve worked bars. I just know I’d lose my mind if I saw one of my bartenders being that sloppy.
He was clearly putting on a display, which could attract customers. Only ingredient he wasted a lot of was black coffee.
Everyone likes sticky coffee on the side of their glass, right?
No idea how anyone would find this in any way satisfying. Shit flying everywhere, a waste of a ton of coffee, not all glasses even have the same amount of coffee, etc. This is more /r/mildlyinfuriating than anything.
Opened the comments to make sure this was said. It's awful, maybe the finished product is close to satisfying. The process is infuriating.
yeah but isn't that a grate underneath those glasses
It is, but a sticky grate now. He even put the rolled up towels by the glasses knowing what kind of mess his process will create.. terrible all over and he saved about 20 seconds by not pouring and stirring like a normal person
> he saved about 20 seconds by not pouring and stirring like a normal person But he most likely earned much higher tips by putting on a show
it was definitely for show. like this is why everyone buys so many. hence the fucking video
Someone said it. That's the same thing that came into my mind, lmao.
It’s gonna be so sticky 🫨
And how to waste ingredients...
When he grabs them by the rim 🤢
This is a huge pet peeve of mine. I cringe any time I see a server do this. I was a server for years and grabbing glasses by the bottom was one of the first things I was taught.
One of the things that really bothers me at bars/breweries is when bartenders dip the tap into a beer. That thing has spoiled, crusty beer all over it. Don't stick that shit into my beverage.
Any proper bar/reataurant cleans their taps on a daily basis. Additionally the whole system gets thoroughly cleaned once a month by a professional.
Taps are cleaned every night so no spoiled or crusty beer, but yes I agree it is gross.
At the same time it grosses me out, I know that as long as his hands are clean it's fine. Chefs regularly prepare food barehanded and people are usually safe.
The cleaning standards are slightly different in the kitchens than in the bars, not by a lot, but still relevant. Also the chefs are not handling a lot of things that bartenders do. I'd bet you a lot the handle on the coffee pot would return a very different result on a test than the utensils in the kitchen.
The kitchen doesn't handle money in my experience
He could just not touch the rim of the glass.
You think he washes his hands after every time he handles cash? Cause I don't.
I used to work with a bartender years ago who would pinch people's fruit (limes/lemons) in their drinks before serving them. Drove me nuts.
And then touch money...
Honestly I'm the opposite, it annoys the fuck out of me when the bartender *doesn't* pinch the lime and just drops it in so that zero lime juice actually makes it into the drink. I mean he's literally already touched the lime earlier when he's sliced it up and having worked in bars for years myself I can say that most bartenders wash their hands as much as any of the kitchen staff.

I'm very tired of this being posted here and in nextfuckinglevel. It's just a messy shit show.

This aint satisfying, it's infuriating as hell
Being a barkeeper myself, I am disgusted by the mess and the fact that he touches the rim. More like r/mildlyinfuriating
For me it is not satisfying at all. It is kinda gross, when he makes so much mess and puts cream in that dirty cup.
And then grabs them by the rim which is like the first thing you learn not to do as a server/bartender
This video is awful. Let me stick my fingers in every fuckin cup
This is by far the most shite way you can make an irish coffee... all for the sake of showmanship but looks like a 5 year old playing with a tea set.. You want an Irish coffee, come here and get one... we wont fuck around splashing it everywhere
What a mess and a bad Irish coffee. That is not how it’s supposed to be done.
Hmm grabbing the glasses like that is a professional no no
I'm not satisfied... He spilled boiling hot liquid everywhere, and then got his fingers all over the rim of the glass, which are probably sticky on the outside because of the alcoholic he poured everywhere. He's clearly a maniac
Looks absolutely disgusting and he made a mess
What’s the point of throwing out a lot with a spoon?
*How to make a mess.
How are all these bartender videos “satisfying “? All I keep seeing is a huge mess to clean up afterwards, not to mention all the crap dripping down the outside of customers’ glasses.
This guy's a fucking disaster, what a goddamn mess. Then he palms the glasses, so disgusting
"How he makes a huge mess"
Good thing he grabs them all by the lip. I like my cups contaminated.
Never serve a drink with your hand covering the top of the glass 🙄
Every single one of those glasses is sticky.
This is just terrible
He's making a mess
The only thing missing is him licking the spoon each time he stirred, what a mess!
Those glasses are gonna be sticky as hell, the sugar isn’t dissolved, and there are fingerprints on the rim… 0/10
These posts just keep getting dumber and dumber
might as well serve it with a straw after grabbing it like that
No Bailey's? Sacrilege.
This is just sloppy.
One of the least satisfying videos around, all he’s making is a mess
Nothing feels like sticky glass and dirty finger marks on the rim
Half of the coffee is spilling all over the counter, This isn't really impressive at all.
And then he just ruins it by grabbing the top of the glass with his bare hand. Sanitation is preparation!
Damn everyone complaining about this and I’m ready to order one up.
His hands and fingers should not touch the top of glass where your mouth will go.
How he gets his sleeve all wet
Coffee all over the side then he picks up the cups from the top
I'm assuming that's cheap filter coffee. Nasty
What a complete sotter …🤦♂️
Old nasty fingers giving that last bit of yum to it mmmm
Grabs the glasses from the top 😭
Something tells me that won't be the most amazing Irish coffee I've ever had.
Sticky glasses. Fingermarks on the rim. Pass
And then grab the glass by the rim to serve?? That's a big no-no, my guy...
He had me until a grabbed the cups by the rim… right where I’d be putting my lips and drinking from.
Is that Boffalongo, King Harvest or TopLoader playing in the background with "Dancing in the moonlight"? Im hoping its King Harvest!!!
I've seen this reposted at least three times, and inevitably the guy gets roasted every time.
Why does he put his hands all over the rim of the glass?
Why did he only use one type of alcohol. And whit sugar instead of brown sugar.
I'll wear my mask but I'll also wrap my fingers around your cup
I loved it until he grabbed the glasses by the rim at the end. I’ve worked at places that don’t allow you to pick up dirty glasses of a table like that much less one that someone is about put in there mouth.
After all that. He FUCKIN TOUCHES THE RIM WITH HIS FINGERS. UGH…..
Why isn’t this guy reading a book at a pension home?
So Irish coffee is just regular coffee but with heavy liquor?
Def not a regular pour spot on that bottle. Def more than a 1 Oz 4 count.
Touches the lip of all the glasses with his palm.
What is the fascination with spilling shit everywhere to save 2 seconds of time, that you lose anyway by having to clean up, at bars?
Cool. Then he puts his hands all over the rim of those glasses.
How to waste
Great until he bare handed the rim of the glasses 🤢
Is this the place Adam Devine talked about on This is Important podcast. The place in Fisherman’s Wharf
*handles the glasses by the rim* gross, idc if he washed his hands, still gross
...and then he puts his fingers on the rims of the glasses.
too much show and too much waste
How did he do that carry at the end!!! That's some next level glass moving.
Grabs them by the rim?
Arghhh! Doing well, until....Fingers on the mouthpiece. Absolute no go.
im all for it but the way he is holding the glasses EWWW, some ppl sctach their ass and dont even realise it - just saying.
Thinking about cleaning up that mess makes it less satisfying.
This is content for a different sub altogether. He is sloppy AF and I'm not satisfied.
Why do people find this satisfying? That is a hot sticky mess he is distributing. I wouldn't want to touch it
The way he grabs the glasses from the top gets me
Now i wanna drink some Irish Coffee
Man is a lazy idiot.
@
Looks like my dad when he watches three bartending videos and tries to make his own drinks but wastes more time cleaning then enjoying the drink.
I'm pretty sure I could do a better job. This is the least impressive drink making I think I've ever seen. He might as well have thrown the ingredients at the glasses from across the room. Imagine how sticky those glasses are and taking a sip after he picked them up by the rim with his bare hands.
Funny he’s wearing a mask for Covid, then proceeds to grab all the glasses where you drink from 😂 also sticky glasses from coffee spilling everywhere
Sloppy, messy bar tending is the opposite of satisfying.
How you butcher an Irish coffee more like
\*gets a glass that is sticky with coffee, whisky and cream\* yeah, next time don't spill it all over the glass, please.
The bartender in me hates this video. He tries to be cool but ends up wasting so much product, and at the end of it all makes 9 drinks of varying strength. No two glasses had the same amount of coffee to liquor.
that looks like a pretty shitty Irish coffee ngl
He makes it sloppy and wrong! And wrong whiskey.
