Tipsy Texan Seeks Home for Craft Cocktail Happy Hour

(the first Tipsy Texan personal ad)
Me: tipsy texan with an interest in modern craft cocktails and classic cocktails, properly rendered. Looking for a bar that will allow me to host a craft cocktail happy hour.
You: relatively central location. Preferably with a back bar or patio bar that is not currently being optimized during happy hour.

"Not currently being optimized"?! This is the least sexy personal ad ever. Where's the talk of juicy, stiff cocktails, deep satisfaction, and long, hard p...ours? It's a good thing I'm shopping for a cocktail bar and not a lover.

I don't have any particular day in mind. I am not trying to move in on any bartender's space or on any bar's clientele. I am looking to create a weekly happy hour event for the presentation of Tipsy Texan original farm-fresh cocktails and select classics. The bar would have to be willing to take a risk on buying a little fresh produce and some new spirits, and of course be comfortable hiring an unknown entity like me for one day a week. If someone is concerned about this latter point, I will just kindly remind them that Sam Phillips didn't know who the hell Elvis was when he walked through the door of Sun studios. Then the unsuspecting bar proprietor will be giddy with excitement because we will all become famous, fabulously wealthy, and then die on the crapper at an early age. Please leave a comment if you know of any place that might be viable and available (for a happy hour, not a crapper).

Bill:

I spoke with a retail outlet we both know this morning about doing an educational event along these lines in their shop. They were interested.

moira:

Me: central NE location with a certain special party coming up and a penchant for appreciating properly rendered cocktails of the traditional or wilder sort. the oak bar, alas, was recently traded on craigslist, but a large deck and backyard available for alternative setup that is suitably tipsy and texan. potential for repeat or longer term relationship…

A few more details:
** planning a broadcast of KUT’s twine time Nov 8th or 15th
** desiring a cocktail hour (or three or four) before and/or during to smooth the conversation and dancing
** happy to purchase fresh produce and spirits
** wondering about your interest/availability
