Actor, snowboarder, Jersey Boi, Bar Babe… Jonathon!
Bar that I work at: Rise Bar
How long I’ve worked there: 10 months
What are my shifts: 9pm-Close, Wednesday-Sunday
What makes this bar great: Between the family bond that the staff has, the beautiful clientele that come visit us, and just vibes all around. Its just different from all the other LGBTQ+ bars nyc.
Best drink I make: Vodka Soda… JK! Id say my best drink is called “KURO.” If you know, you know!
I love it when customers: Are smiling, in a great mood and enjoying their night.
I hate it when customers: think they are better then everyone else. Egos can stay at the door. Everyone is there for a good time, so relax, take a shot and enjoy yourself
Craziest thing I’ve seen here: Besides the typical NYC things that you normally see… I saw some guy walk into the bar with a huge pickle pillow. He was just dancing with it all night,just vibing. But I was all for it… especially since I LOVE fried pickles! Random, but yeah
Other places I’ve worked: Club Feathers, Six 26 Lounge, Ritmo Latino Sundays, Pasta Ramen, all over the country
My hometown: Paterson, NJ
Stuff I do when I’m not bartending: Winter is coming, so I’ll be snowboarding a lot. Catch me at the slopes
Single or Taken: Single AF 👀👀 so wassup
Who/what turns me on: come to Rise Bar and find out😏
Favorite music: Country , Early 2000’s R&B , Freestyle
Favorite movie or TV show: I love horror movies; The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is def one of my favorites. As far as TV goes, who doesn’t love a good season to binge on? But to be honest… throw on the Food Network and I’ll be happy
Favorite drag queen: I’ve been doing this for years and Ive met so many beautifully talented queens so it would be hard to limit it down to one but if i do i Id have to go with Octavia Anyae. If you haven’t seen her perform, I highly recommend it.
My drag name would be: Okay, so this one is hard to answer because I’ve been looking for a drag name for the past couple years… and I just can’t find one that has a “ring” to it
Favorite gogo boy: I have to stick with my two favs, I cant just choose one:
Gabriel Reyes & @whitechocodream
Favorite DJ: Brett Oosterhaus
Other stuff you need to know about me: I’m probably one of the chillest people you’ll ever meet. I try to always be in a good mood, because honestly life is too short to just not be happy and enjoying every moment of it. If I’m not at work or at the gym, I’m most likely in a kitchen throwing down; I love to cook (another passion of mine). Fun fact about me is, I’ve been acting since I was 14 years old. You’ve probably seen me on your tv 😉
