Bar Babe of the Month: Justin at Pieces & Playhouse

From Birmingham to Bar Babe… the delightful Justin!


Bar(s) that I work at: Pieces & Playhouse

How long I’ve worked there: 8 months

What are my shifts: I’m your Happy Hour (w)Hore! Thursday/Friday at Playhouse 1-10 & Saturday / Sunday at Pieces 1-10 !! Follow for exact times, but I’m serving during Trivia on Thursdays, Drag Race on Fridays and Bingo on Sundays 🙂

What makes these bars great: The regulars I have connected with! I am constantly learning and growing from the conversations we have 🙂 

Best drink I make: Anything with tequila, baby

I love it when customers: Share their personality & wanna kiki

I hate it when customers: Say some fuckass niche drink name from their hometown that nobody has ever heard of… like including Google!

Craziest thing I’ve seen here: Currently, someone whipping out a dildo bigger than the size of our Bud Light tap handle from their workbag! And obvi, I had to compare…

Other places I’ve worked: I bartended at one of the few queer spaces in Alabama, Icon Tuscaloosa, throughout college… most recently as an elementary school teacher 🙂 

My hometown: Birmingham, Alabama

Stuff I do when I’m not bartending: Laying in the sun, biking, running, reading — and as of current, playing gay kickball with Big Apple Rec Sports

Single or Taken: Girlllllll, its complicated 😉

Who/what turns me on: A thick ass tip

Favorite music: Shitty ass pop that makes me dance or cry — or both simultaneously 

Favorite movie or TV show: Silver Linings Playbook & Abbott Elementary

Favorite drag queenThe Assassins & Chaka Khanvict 

My drag name would be: Junno Me

Favorite gogo boy: Unfortunately, this is a secret 

Favorite DJAlex Cohen & 2Face

Other stuff you need to know about me: I absolutely love to learn from those who have helped pave the way for the NYC queer community, as well as those who are currently paving the way by simply being themselves. Come and chat with me anytime 🙂
