How To Hook Up in a Hotel Bar
Dushan Zaric and Jason Kosmas are the bartenders we'd want to be in another (non-hotel-obsessed) life. Smooth, creative and entertaining behind their West Village bar, Employees Only, they also know how pour us a stiff drink.
And ever since their book came out--You Didn't Hear It From Us: Two Bartenders Serve Women the Truth About Men, Making an Impression, and Getting What You Want--we've wanted to chat 'em up about why we keep missing out on hooking up at the hotel bars we so often frequent. Lo and behold, we were able to spend some quality time with Dushan learning his thoughts on the hotel bar scene today.
HC: So tell us about the book. Where did the idea come from, and why did you write it?
DZ: It came about because of a cocktail book Jay and I were writing that sort of became our bar training manual. Our friend, who is our agent, said we should do it because the manual had a lot of observation about what's really going on at a bar.
We're not emotionally attached to the movie playing out in front of us at the bar. And we said, "Why would we ever help the other team? It's the men--well, the boys--that need the help." And she said, "There's a lot of women that need your help."
After the jump, the full interview with Dushan Zaric.
