I
t’s hard out here for a sexy bartender.
Just ask Joggers bartender Brian
Estes . I mean, he gets to fl irt with
ladies all night long. Girls are constantly
trying to drag him into the bathroom to
make out. He pretty much gets paid to
get hit on. Me? Jealous? Nah.
How long have you been a
bartender at Joggers?
A year. I started as a bouncer and
worked my way up.
good at talking to ’em. I just reason
with them.
Has anyone broken a bottle over
someone else’s head?
No, but one time I saw a guy try to
throw a punch with a glass in his hand.
It didn’t work out. It was pretty funny.
How does it feel to be a sex
symbol?
When I got the call, I gotta say I felt
pretty good. It’s a nice ego boost.
Do you make any special drinks?
I like coming up with new things
all the time. My favorite right now
is an accelerator — a shot of vodka,
shot of Captain, shot of Midori and
a Red Bull.
Do you do bar tricks?
Sometimes. I mostly like to set
stuff on fi re.
Do you prefer classy drunks or
cheap drunks?
Why do you think people voted
for you?
I’m a pretty personable person. I mean,
fl irting is defi nitely part of the job.
What is the sexiest part of the
job?
Some of the conversations you have
with people can get pretty intense. I
had one about piercings recently. That
was sexy.
Classy drunks. The cheap drunks,
well, sometimes we’ll get girls that
maybe have a drink too many and get
in the way.
Have you ever hooked up with a
customer?
How often do you toss someone
out?
Any good drunkard stories?
Once a week.
What’s your method?
Usually I talk ’em out. I’m pretty

Yes, I met my ex-girlfriend here. It
happens.
I was getting off work and walking
to my car in the parking garage and I
saw two people making out in their car.
Their brake was off and the car was
rolling backwards. It was hilarious. ■
