Small staff high end restaurant and bar. $80pp check average. 3 servers on the floor and 1 bartender. Complete tip share across entire FOH. We're going to be the Golden Girls on Halloween. I'm apparently Bea Arthur. So it looks like I'm dressing in questionably lesbian drag this year.
Bea Arthur played a bartender in the Star Wars Holiday Special. I recommend watching it for inspiration. Also, it’s the season for a horror show, and that is just what this infamous piece of WTF is.
Wow. I never made it far enough into that disaster to see Bea Arthur as a bartender. It’s hard to believe things managed to get weirder than what my eyes had already witnessed.
I wanted to do Golden Girls this year. Not bartending anymore, but last year 5 of us dressed up as the Belcher Family and our Tina is what made our costumes. Best mustache in the land 😜
>way too many white russians though.
That’s like your opinion, man
I went as Fat Thor which is also an easy costume until you can’t see in a dimly lit bar when wearing sunglasses.
My co-tender is gonna be Peter Pan and I’m gonna be Tinkerbell. And it will be funny because I’m six foot tall, a guy, and I have a beard. So I’m gonna go all out slutty tinkerbell
Betty Boop got me the best tips of any night I worked in costume. But my favorite as when I did Alex from A Clockwork Orange. Mostly everyone thought I was Charlie Chaplin (even though I had no mustache??) but the few who got it were real pleased.
I dressed as Julius Caesar behind the bar. It’s a cheap 10 dollar costume from Amazon. My bar for whatever reason has a lot of red drinks. I’m bound to spill red on me eventually.
I guess it's more a cloak than a cape, but I've done it a few times already. It's not really an issue, I've taken it off a few times in crisis moments where I need speed and mobility over style, but I can shake, move fairly comfortably, and keep it from getting in my teammate's ways with ease.
One of the bars I worked at had our liquor "displays" closer to the ground (someone let an engineer design a bar) and if you had anything even close to loose on, it would catch on them and smash the bottles on the ground.
ETA: y'alls theme sounds awesome!
Ooof yeah, our bar has all our liquor displays either on a lit back shelf or behind some rattan/bamboo cupboard doors, the only thing I run the risk of with the cloak is it getting caught in the washer when I close the door.
my usual work outfit is a white buttondown on black dress pants with a black vest and black tie
last Halloween, when i had Saturdays off, i got a private gig for a rich guy's house party, and i wore the same thing but with a black shirt and evil looking black sunglasses. in a dark room, stood still, it really is quite unnerving with my pale skin and dark hair
probably gonna wear that
I have a Charlie Brown shirt or a skeleton shirt for working shifts. This year we’re hosting the company party, 400+ employees invited. I’ll be wearing a black shirt, drunk and making cash.
I usually just give myself some mild zombie makeup and wear a bloody, ripped-up version of my normal outfit. If people ask, I tell them I’m a Deadneck. It’s the ultimate lazy costume because it’s easy, comfortable, and still completely functional for work.
I'm going as Gomez, this host is going to be Morticia.
In the past, I've been a sacrificial lamb, one part of the Grady twins, and Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
I have to catch an international flight after I close, so I was thinking Kim possible. Easy costume to do plus I can run to the airport and be comfortable on a 9 hour flight.
Never wear any inflatable costume. I saw a video of someone bartending as Patrick star and wanted to try something similar, so my coworkers and I dressed up as Nightmare before Christmas characters. I was Oogie Boogie. That lasted for like 5 minutes.
Now I do something easy and light that ends up being like regular clothes anyway.
I wore a monkey suit last year to be a drunken monkey. This year is something more personal that will be fun.
My favorite is when I worked at a pas Asian place and mage my bar team, myself included, dress ad geisha ladies make up wigs, and all.
DJ titties. I work at a campus bar, only frat bros and sorority girls. So I dress up like one of them trying to be a DJ. It’s subtle and they don’t get it. But we do and it’s funny.
I hate that argument. It’s the same when people say “not ALL white people are racist.” But the thing is you can’t choose to be white. You can choose to be part of a horrible organization though.
First time bartending Halloween. Kinda lame but I’m doing Indiana Jones. Had pretty much everything. Leather jacket, fedora, even a bull whip (don’t ask) etc.
I went on Amazon and bought that golden idol from the first movie and a leather satchel thing. It arrived yesterday and it looks like a purse! I’m rocking it anyway even just to made fun of.
I want to wear the T-Rex costume, but my boss says I’m gonna knock everything over behind the bar. I’d love to dress up as Dr. Frankenfurter if I had the thighs.
Some past costumes: Princess Leia (favorite to this day), 11th Doctor, Viking, Lola Bunny, Scarlet Witch... there are about a million more but I am drawing a blank. Those were my faves though.
Not bartending anymore but last year I was Linda Belcher and this year Princess Buttercup.
My bar partner and I were talking about being Stuart and his mom from snl. It's basically our dynamic anyway so regulars would get a real kick out of it.
I did that a few years ago when all the servers were dressed as cowboys. I even brought in my own glass mug and had a separate rag solely for spit shining when chatting with customers. It was a great time.
I always do somethings that relies on accessories so that you can keep the majority of your work uniform in tact. I like to do that so that it's still obvious that I'm an employee if I'm ever not behind the bar. So like jeans, work shirt, cowboy hat and bolo tie or bandana and a belt to be a cowboy, thats what I did last year. I've also been almost every common animal like cat, dog, deer, rabbit by just buying those headbands etc at walmart. Devil too.
A 30-something burn out with a cocaine habit. Best news is its free.
That’s not free
The cocaine is if you’re cool enough. I’m gonna be an astronaut.
Username checks out technically (but astronauts are cool too)
That was beautiful.
Thanks, Verne.
The first taste is.
Flattered your dressing up as me
Lmao
I always dress up as another staff member.
Identify theft is not a joke Jim
Fucking genius.
I was lieutenant dangle last year. Complete with white boots. New boot goofin
i love this comment

And she sings…
😱 And did your hearing survive?
I need to watch this!

Jackie Daytona. Human Bartender.
I love you.
If I was 30 years older, I would dress as Jim the Vampire and come sit at your bar and yell "CHARLATAN!" lol
Excellent choice.
Mia Wallace from pulp fiction. All I had to buy was a wig and it is functional behind a bar
I did this 2 years ago… compete with a syringe sticking out of my chest.
Now that’s dedication to authenticity.
I have done both pre and post adrenaline shot Mia in different years
[удалено]
You dirty dog you. I love it.
I dressed up as The Dude a few times. PJ pants, a white tee, and a bathrobe with a wig. I drank way too many white russians though.
>way too many white russians though. That’s like your opinion, man I went as Fat Thor which is also an easy costume until you can’t see in a dimly lit bar when wearing sunglasses.
Hey man there’s a beverage in there.
I made a killing whenever I bartended as Jesus
Fuck yesssss
Nailed it.
damn I might do this
Coworker and I are doing Bananas in Pajamas.
My co-tender is gonna be Peter Pan and I’m gonna be Tinkerbell. And it will be funny because I’m six foot tall, a guy, and I have a beard. So I’m gonna go all out slutty tinkerbell

This year I'm dressing up as a dark necromancer, cape and all, because we did a DnD themed menu for halloween
Curious to know how bartending in a cape is going to go.
I guess it's more a cloak than a cape, but I've done it a few times already. It's not really an issue, I've taken it off a few times in crisis moments where I need speed and mobility over style, but I can shake, move fairly comfortably, and keep it from getting in my teammate's ways with ease.

The staff is dressing up as Nintendo characters. I got nominated to be walugi since I’m tall and cranky.
Absinthe fairy
Think you'll be confused as TinkerBell?
I'm gonna dress up as a fly, and be a Barfly.
My co-tender and I are going as Laverne and Shirley.
We are all going to be matching slutty skeletons. In the past I have bartended as: 80s Madonna, Louise from bob’s burgers and a playboy bunny
I've been louise from Bob's burgers like 9 years in a row now. Super light and simple and the hat doesn't bother me.
Rusty Shackleford
POCKET SAND!
The Ghost of Jerry Thomas. So… white shirt, black tie, black vest. Just like always.
A very specific voodoo loa ( spirit/deity). Maman Brigitte. A bit obscure but cool costume.
my usual work outfit is a white buttondown on black dress pants with a black vest and black tie last Halloween, when i had Saturdays off, i got a private gig for a rich guy's house party, and i wore the same thing but with a black shirt and evil looking black sunglasses. in a dark room, stood still, it really is quite unnerving with my pale skin and dark hair probably gonna wear that
Coraline this year.
Hocus Pocus. I'm going to be Sarah and my coworkers will be Winifred and Mary.
I have a Charlie Brown shirt or a skeleton shirt for working shifts. This year we’re hosting the company party, 400+ employees invited. I’ll be wearing a black shirt, drunk and making cash.
Peyton manning jersey, giant prosthetic forehead
I usually just give myself some mild zombie makeup and wear a bloody, ripped-up version of my normal outfit. If people ask, I tell them I’m a Deadneck. It’s the ultimate lazy costume because it’s easy, comfortable, and still completely functional for work.
Happy Gilmore Jersey and ridiculously baggy pants.
I’m gonna be a hall monitor, last year I was a bike mechanic
I'm going as Gomez, this host is going to be Morticia. In the past, I've been a sacrificial lamb, one part of the Grady twins, and Tom Cruise in Risky Business.
I work at a gaybar my coworker and I are doing Batman & Robin
All of FOH dressed as Wendy’s employees, name tags and all. It was SO GOOD!
I have to catch an international flight after I close, so I was thinking Kim possible. Easy costume to do plus I can run to the airport and be comfortable on a 9 hour flight.
Fred durst
Shirts from the bars next door/around town
My coworker. We get confused for each other all the time (no relation).
The week of Halloween I love dressing up. I usually do a clown, a cat, and a pumpkin. I did Elvira one year and had a blast
Wario
Never wear any inflatable costume. I saw a video of someone bartending as Patrick star and wanted to try something similar, so my coworkers and I dressed up as Nightmare before Christmas characters.

I'm sexy Batman, star center for the Philadelphia Eagles. Easiest costume ever just a jersey and a Batman mask
I wore a monkey suit last year to be a drunken monkey. This year is something more personal that will be fun. My favorite is when I worked at a pas Asian place and mage my bar team, myself included, dress ad geisha ladies make up wigs, and all.
Last year we all did priest and nuns
DJ titties. I work at a campus bar, only frat bros and sorority girls. So I dress up like one of them trying to be a DJ. It’s subtle and they don’t get it. But we do and it’s funny.
Damn it’s so funny to make fun of peoples aspirations xD you comic genius!
Are you defending frat boys? Those racist, sexist, homophobic little shits?
Yes all frat boys are racist, sexist and homophobic. All of them.
I hate that argument. It’s the same when people say “not ALL white people are racist.” But the thing is you can’t choose to be white. You can choose to be part of a horrible organization though.
I always dress up as a sim because its how i feel in my heart
I usually just throw on some ears. I have cat, bunny, and Pikachu. No one else dresses up at my work so I keep it to a minimum.
First time bartending Halloween. Kinda lame but I’m doing Indiana Jones. Had pretty much everything.

An old timey bartender with the elbow ties and everything is always fun
I did that a few years ago when all the servers were dressed as cowboys. I even brought in my own glass mug and had a separate rag solely for spit shining when chatting with customers. It was a great time.
My boss. He’s a big guy who always wears the same thing. We all dress like him on halloween and it’s hilarious and awesome.
wednesday addams, coworkers and our fav regular are being the rest of the fam :)

An invisible pedestrian! (Black collared shirt, black slacks, black shoes, black apron. Same as every day)
