Hey, you were the one who brought lambic ... weren't you?
Not me!

This is a roadhouse, y'all!

Okay, who else can bartend? I'll stock a full bar if others are willing to work so that I may fangurl all over Kane whilst they are playing. But the only specials I'll run are whiskey and beer. Dammit. Well, and the Buffista special.
No experience bartending, but I can open bottles of wine and champagne - the one skill my father saw fit to pass on to me.
This is a roadhouse, y'all!
Right. A Cherry Vodka and Fernet serving Roadhouse.

Fernet = shots, which is an approved roadhouse method of booze consumption.
The cherry vodka, I agree is suspect.
The Cape Codders (vodka, cran, and a lime) are a possibility. The red wine - okay, but y'all are getting it in a regular glass. None of this fancy stemware.
I need no fancy stemware for my wine.
(FTR, the judge has no issue with people drinking soda or water or soda water, because she understands that not everyone likes Teh Booze.)
Excellent. I like the Teh Booze, but I can't always drink Teh Booze, and in fact, you would not want me to always drink Teh Booze. That said, I am open to being badgered into trying both crazy shots, and this Fernet stuff, all the kids are drinking.
(There will be occasional, polite, quiet lobbying for frozen Strawberry Daiquiris and Pina Coladas on hot summer nights, and for White Russians and or Sombreros, when I'm feeling calcium deficient. Successful lobbying will be followed by hefty tipping. Said lobbying will only occur when the band is both on a break and yet [sadly] unavailable to receive the bartender's ministrations).

Thhhpt.
Okay, so the Perfect Buffista Bar has:
A stage for the live music
A DJ booth, probably in a corner of the stage
A dance floor polished enough that Aimee and Robin can roller-skate when the DJ plays "Starry-Eyed Surprise"
Every kind of alcohol available (including absinthe)
Couches and comfy chairs
Swivelling barstools
A 24-hour gourmet deli next door for the snackies (I'm not dealing with a kitchen)
Wide flatscreen TVs for the viewing of various shows and/or events
Buffy/Angel/Due South/The Office/Supernatural nights
Princess Bride night
What else am I missing?

On-call masseuse/cabana boy.
Shirtless Gunn. IJS. In a cage for dancing.
Also,
Are cosmos considered too girlie?
Nope, but given the tendency of the judge to break stemware, you'd be getting them in a well-chilled rocks glass.
