"  Doug Quinn, 44, Bar ManagerP.J. Clarke&amp;#039;s New York City It&amp;#039;s much easier to bartend wearing a bowtie. I can be a grouchy prick sometimes, but that&amp;#039;s part of the show. This is show business. Sometimes you want to let people clash. It&amp;#039;s really a microcosm of everything going on in the world. Being a bartender, you have to be able to wear a lot of hats: a kindergarten teacher, marriage counselor, some type of spiritual guide, perhaps a priest. Forget psychiatrist. That&amp;#039;s the obvious one. I don&amp;#039;t want prostitutes coming here. Just because, even if they behave themselves, in the end they can&amp;#039;t. You see a lot of young people coming in and ordering more classic cocktails. I love it. But I also think people need to be educated and understand saloon culture, which basically stems from the Golden Rule: You treat people the way you want to be treated. There&amp;#039;s a rite of passage as a man \u2014 coming into a saloon. There should always be a point in a man&amp;#039;s life when his dad takes him into a saloon and shows him how to step up and put a 20 on the bar, or maybe a 50. Be a gentleman, speak up, order your drinks, and treat the bartender with respect. I honestly try to get better at what I do every single day. You&amp;#039;re building a business. It&amp;#039;s about making people feel special. It can be a wonderful, wonderful thing. I admire people being creative and stuff, but ultimately the drinks have to work. You don&amp;#039;t want to get involved in mixology masturbation \u2014 putting all kinds of ingredients together just for the sake of it. I like to keep things simple. I like to take classic cocktails and reinvent them, make them better. Making a sidecar, I squeeze some oranges and a shitload of lemons in it. And I top it off with an orange twist. I make the best sidecar in the world. We&amp;#039;ve all had a rough day, a bad day, a bad night. We&amp;#039;ve all fucked up. We&amp;#039;ve all drunk too much. We&amp;#039;ve all done stupid shit we&amp;#039;re ashamed of. We&amp;#039;ve all been there. It&amp;#039;s the human condition. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when I can. Sometimes I think of all the crazy, bizarre shit that&amp;#039;s happened. Usually I laugh. I&amp;#039;m sitting in the emergency room at 6:30 this morning, and the girl stitching my hand says, &amp;quot;That could have gone through your flexor tendon.&amp;quot; And I&amp;#039;m thinking, Yeah, it always could be a lot worse. Being a great bartender is not about making drinks. It&amp;#039;s really about creating magic, you know?
