Brooklyn and Chelsea pourmaster Roberto is a new Glam nominee!
Bar(s) that I work at: I work at Metropolitan, Macri Park, and The Eagle.
How long I’ve worked there: Metropolitan 4 1/2 years, Macri Park 3 yrs 8 months, The Eagle 3 years 1 month
What are my shifts: Wednesdays: Macri Park PM. Thursdays-Saturdays: Metropolitan PM. I’m on-call at The Eagle, so I cover bartending shifts when needed. Usually weekend nights.
What makes this bar great: At Metropolitan and Macri Park, the cheap drinks! My coworkers are also like family to me. Two of them are actually roommates of mines. As for the Eagle, I would say the staff as well. Everyone’s very chill and great to work with.
Best drink I make: Different types of Cosmopolitans, and A Day at the Beach
I love it when customers: Know what they want to order and tip!
I hate it when customers: Don’t have their order ready on busy nights, and it’s their turn to order. Especially when it’s groups of people who have just been standing there talking to one another instead of deciding on a group drink order.
Craziest thing I’ve seen here: Metropolitan: The cleanup after the first night of the darkroom for Janelle No. 5’s party “Sexxx Dreams” (Saturdays). Lol. Macri: I could swear I possibly saw a ghost one night after my shift and I was alone. Eagle: I mean… it’s the Eagle. So there’s been a lot, but nothing people who go there wouldn’t assume. As they say nowadays, if you know you know.
Other places I’ve worked: I worked at the Hard Rock Cafe in Times Square. I left the company September this year. Before NYm I worked for a Hard Rock casino managing the Count Room.
My hometown: I’m originally from Sacramento, CA. I moved to NYC almost 5 years ago in 2020. My 5 year anniversary is coming up next week.
Stuff I do when I’m not bartending: I’m a big introvert outside of work. Most people might find that surprising because I’m a big extrovert at work. I enjoy being a homebody and spending time at home. I’ve been playing a lot of Fortnite lately.
Single or Taken: Single
Who/what turns me on: It changes from time to time. I’m into all types of guys. A good personality and sense of humor is usually what gets me.
Favorite music: I listen to all sorts of music. I’ve been listening to lots of throwbacks from the 2000s.
Favorite movie or TV show: My favorite movie is White Chicks.
Favorite drag queen: Janelle No. 5
My drag name would be: On the spot, I can’t think of a good one. Lol.
Favorite gogo boy: Angel. I actually met Angel on my very first shift at Metro. He’s a long time regular and family to us at Metro!
Favorite DJ: P_A_T
Other stuff you need to know about me: I have an identical twin brother who’s also gay. He lives in California, so only a few people have met him when he’s visited.
