The old Bruno's had a smokeshow blonde bartender for a long time. She went to Riverdale, can't remember anything beyond that in the haze of the early 2000's.



Wasn’t she a cop, or maybe dated a cop? What was her name again? Leslie ?


YES! Great memory. I think she was working at the new Bruno's for a while too.

Bruno's Tavern


In the late 90s I got a BJ in the women's bathroom at their original location.

Leslie was great. I don't know why more bars don't hire bartenders like that. Charm the men all night and keep them buying drinks.

The bar at GBs had a girl like that for a time, too.

But nothing beat the bartenders at Phillips in the mid 2000s.

What was the little grocery on Adams near Oak? By that club I think? Adams St Grocery? Whatever it was they had awesome roast beef poboys. Lived off of that and Zapp’s gator taters for a spell.
