Name/alias:  Iner Souster

Current bar: Mezzrow’s

How long in the business: Over 20 years. yikes that is a long time.

First drink/drunk:  It was a giant bottle of Baby Duck.

What influences me:  I am a fan of good old fashion beer and bar shots. every once in a while I like to pull out a vodka or gin martini.

Best barfly: Working at Mezzrow’s is a constant laugh. everybody is a comedian. most of the time I just make a fool of myself  which is pretty easy to do.

Cinematic bartender:  Who thinks of these questions, and I can’t believe I have an answer. I am going with Joe in the Long Kiss Goodnight. he use to drink at Mezzrow’s years ago.

Rules:   Guiness is our light beer and fancy drinks are for fancy people.Thank god I don’t get many orders for thing like that. Usually when I do I  ask for ID and that takes care of the problem.

Celebrity experiences:  Only me.

Best late-night or morning-after places:  I work days now that I am old and I hate to leave the neighbourhood, so I am going to say the Sixth. HA! Wow I am forced to go with Mezzrow’s again for this one, best secret brunch in the city. oh wait don’t let that one out. This just seems like I am kissing ass now. Randy is the worse boss ever. There now I feel better.

Best /worst tip: One day this guy came in a tipped me 350.00 on his order, the next week he came back a realized what he had done and took it back. Best/worst tip ever.

Favourite cocktail/beer/wine right now: Vodka soda.

Watch for: Watch for me making a fool of myself during the week.
