I’m a barmaid at Smiles in Ledgewood, NJ. When we are asked to promote a new beer we comp that whole beer. The brewery gives us that beer to give away in the hopes of gaining a new customer. So guys, come on bye. Tell them you saw it here and I’ll buy you that beer or shot myself. We have the sexiest dancers, the hottest barmaids and the most happening spot in New Jersey. Check us out! you won’t be disappointed. XO

“real beer provided by sexy girls,” “power hour,” “free beer?”. woof. a lot of surly testosterone on the site these days.

a shot of beer is like half a mustache. it just doesn’t look or feel right.

Here’s the problem with free beer…it robs the bar of business. For every free beer they give out, the bar and bartenders should get paid. Otherwise, why let the promoters in? Still, I agree…an ounce is pathetic.

Andy “Free beer” to me constitutes at least half a beer. Unless I’m doing a power hour, a shot of beer isn’t doing shit for me. In fact, I’d say it wasn’t even the size of a shot, it was just a tiny taste on the bottom of the plastic shot glass.

Were the girls sexy? Meh, they were decent. But it’s not like they were stopping to chat me up, they were clearly running a tight circuit of all the bars in the area.

So as to your “who cares” comment about the fact that it could have been a larger portion – I care! Don’t waste my time with a minuscule amount of beer.

andy, are you aware just how pathetically small a single ounce serving of beer is?

also, she was a beer promoter, so how sexy could she really have been?

Yeah, free beer provided by a sexy girl, rough. Real rough. Stop being a baby. Sure it could have been a larger portion, but who cares! You came away with a little beer and an interaction with a hot girl!

just a couple of weeks ago i was at a bar and ordered a brooklyn lager. two women turned to me and were like “let us buy you that drink” and i was like “huh?” and they said “it’s a promotion. here’s a t-shirt, too. and a hat.” and while i wasn’t as flattered as i was when they offered me the drink, i did get a free beer and a t-shirt!

i ditched the hat.

that’s how beer promos are done.

That’s the worst. Somebody at Bass should send you a 6 pack for your troubles.

I know the economy is bad and all but come on… 1 ounce of beer.

If I were that bar owner, I’d kick ‘em to the curb.
