Ask The Bartender

1. What is your opinion on one night stands?

Jen - I think that one night stands are great and fun as long as both people know what is involved, they both have to be able to know the difference between sex and relationships, and that you can have sex without a relationship. One night stands are great because both people make sure to perform at 100% since it’s a one night thing and you won’t have any future standards to uphold!! So you know it’s gonna be good and if its not you can always go out again the next night hoping for someone better!

Anna - I have never had a one night stand and do not think I'm going to have one in the future. I am not against one night stands at all and would not judge anyone who had one, but the idea of having a drunken night and waking up in front of someone I don't even know, would be a kick in the face.

Nicole - Personally, one night stands are not for me .I definitely don't see it as a negative thing, in fact if your capable of a one night stand with no strings attached all the better you!! Sometimes relationships are too much for someone with a busy schedule. So why not fulfill your needs.

2. What’s the best part about working at a sports bar?

Jen - You can work and watch the game at the same time!

Anna - The best part of working at a sports bar is being able to watch the games while you’re getting paid for it. It's almost like being at one of the games sometimes, everyone goes crazy. Another thing about working at a sports bar that I like is the people that come in; it's a much more chill crowd than most restaurants.

Nicole - The best part about working at a sports bar is the fact that you can actually watch the games or at least bits and pieces of the games as opposed to working at another restaurant where you miss the whole game. It’s encouraged to know what’s going on in the game if you work at a sports bar. Plus the crowds not so bad either...just beer, pizza, and guys...not too much to handle.

3. What bar would you recommend in Boston besides the Sports Depot and why?

Jen - JJ Foleys in the South End. It's always a great night there!

Anna - If I could pick one that I have heard of being fun it would be Jillian’s. It's never too packed because it’s huge. There is pool tables everywhere and it attracts an after game crowd which is always fun.

Nicole - I think if I were to recommend another bar in Boston besides the Sports Depot it would have to be the Living Room in the North End. I work there on the weekends and it’s a much different crowd then the Sports Depot. It’s a good change. I don't get to go out much, but when I do its either to a place like the Living Room with great martinis and a nice lounge or something like the Sports Depot with a more laid back atmosphere.

4. What advice would you give a guy who wants to give his girlfriend a gift to get her in the mood?

Jen - I don’t think you should have to buy her anything to get her in the mood. You should be enough, but if all else fails a bottle of KY and some form of restraints!! Just kidding, probably a nice piece of lingerie.
Anna - If your relationship is based solely on what your boyfriend gets you, then you’re gonna have a bunch of useless crap and he is going to be broke. If your boyfriend is resorting to getting you gifts to get you in the mood, then your sex life must be really bad.

Nicole - Good advice for a guy who wants to get his girl in the mood.....ha...well I would say give her a gift certificate to Bella's spa to be princess for the day. That always works. They pamper you all day! It's sweet, relaxing and if he really wants to make if fun he can get a dual package for both of them to go together. This would make things a little more exciting.

5. What is the craziest thing you've ever seen at the Sports Depot?

Jen – A Red Sox fan proposed to me in the middle of the bar, but I can honestly say that something interesting always seems to happen there.

Anna - After the Red Sox won the World Series everyone went nuts. Then soon after that lots of glasses were being broken at the tables.

Nicole - The craziest thing I’ve ever seen at the Sports Depot. Well there is always the usual fight between fans of rival teams, but I would have to say that the craziest thing I’ve ever seen was during the World Series. Right after the Red Sox won there was everything from girls kissing girls, to old men crying and jumping on each other. The fans were out of control. I think we all were!
