Ask Your Bartender: Juan Carlos, Happy Ending

photo courtesy of Shecky's [Ed. note: We forgot our digi-cam the night we visited Happy Ending, and we tried to take a picture of Juan Carlos with our snazzy new cameraphone, but we're still trying to get the hang of it. That night, we apparently didn't. But for future reference, he's the super-handsome, very friendly fellow with long dreadlocks.]

Beer, wine or cocktails?
(very definitively) Beer.

What could I order that will get me laughed right out of the bar?
Nothing, really.

Well, that's a relief!

Who has been your favorite celebrity patron?
Björk.

Any reason in particular?
Nope. Pretty much just because she's Björk.

Fair enough.

Happy Ending Lounge, 302 Broome Street, between Forsyth and Eldridge, Chinatown, (212)334-9676.

I love bartending! I love you Anthony, you're sexy!

Bartenders are nasty...except for the hot male ones!!!

Fact: A good bartender will not blab in your ear while you're trying to drink. Who wants to feel obligated to make small chatter with a stranger when all you really want is to tie one on?

This is true: Juan Carlos is a good bartender. As this interview shows, he will not bother you with his boring life stories as he serves you.

Almost true: All men who publically claim their heterosexuality are, in fact, attracted to Juan Carlos.

A good guess: BrianVan, if you ever make it to Happy Ending, within two drinks, you'll start making hot, gay pork (that means sex) with Juan Carlos' dreadlocks.

Truth: Happy Endings is a hoot. But every night is different, so you have to check out the scene at least seven times before giving up on it.

He's hot? Doesn't do me much good, I'm a straight guy. Last thing I need is a bar with a hot male bartender to have all the girls swooning in that direction.

(That's the other nice thing about female bartenders... I'm rarely having to compete with them)

I promise you won't be bored talking to him in person--he's HOT.

Laren

He was, in fact, pretty chatty, just not in response to these particular questions. I think I'll be asking more questions (more open-ended questions) in the future. Seems like a pretty cool place -- was there for their wednesday night reading series, which is definitely worth checking out.

BrianVan

Wow. What a wordy guy. Must have talked your ear off.

Anything to recommend about this bar? It's not far from my place if I'm in a mood to explore that neighborhood...
