| Not really. It makes me curious to try the drink that is being described, but no, it doesn't make me want to go out into the bar and get it right that second xD |
| No. I don't drink at all, and this show didn't make me want to. I just enjoyed it for the relaxing slice of life vibe. |
Seph-kun said: I'm curious about the drinks now, and admittedly drank a few more glasses than I have for a while. But no, I'm not going to hit the bars either. Then again, money, or lack of, might be a good deterrence too. I agree with you, and as you said, its kinda expensive, here in Sweden those drinks would cost an arm and a leg |

| yah .......OH HELL YAH |

| If only I had a magical bartender who would read my mind and serve the exact drink I needed. |

| Random anime that make no sense makes me want to chug down alcohol. |
| Last option made me lol. Yeah, drinking isn't as awesome as Bartender makes it out to be. Maybe because there aren't any bartenders or bars in RL as magically talented as Ryuu or supernaturally well-stocked as Eden Hall. |

Juliab said: If only I had a magical bartender who would read my mind and serve the exact drink I needed. I second that. I remember thinking to myself while watching the first couple of episodes. Where in hell do you find such great bartenders? And oh ya, I was thinking of the bottle of whiskey in my cabinet while watching. I haven't finished the series so there is still a chance that I might have a little drink. |
| No. |

m1SeRY said: No. |
 watching, waiting, commiserating |
| Hell yea. Some of those drinks look yummy. Besides alcohol consumption isn't all about getting drunk. Sometimes a relaxing glass can really take the edge off. |

| After watching 3 episodes (and fully intending to finish!) I was left craving a drink with a friend. The music and the relaxing tone made me think of just drinking some fine whiskey with my boys. Pause. Haha, real talk though it's sick how they give the recipes too at the end of the episode! It's an interesting take on alcohol, one that I'd be willing to embrace myself! Melon_Bread said: Yea, Kinda Like Cowboy Bebop Make You Wanna Smoke LOL, yes I remember this. I would watch an episode and be like, "Man, anyone else wanna cig?" Too good! |
 |
| Watching this series actually got me interested in learning how to mix drinks rather than drink them. Dunno if anyone else felt the same way. |

| It has actually. I really had no interest in drinking before. Any alcohol I've tasted has always been awful, and the people around me are only ever interested in drinking to get drunk, which I am not. Midway through the series I immediately started looking around to see if any bars like this even existed, and they really don't, atleast in America. All of our bars are retarded dive bars which are mostly like clubs. Loud, rowdy, and all about sports, 'the irish', and cheap beers and drinks, which I am not at all interested in. Granted, I wouldn't probably hit up a place like "Eden Hall" until I was well off with a career job and had the money to blow on such small quantities of beverages, but I'd really like to stop by a nice, calm bar, and relax with a couple nice drinks and wind down in the soothing environment after a day at work or something like that. Too bad America is such a barbaric country and no one seemingly cares enough to have a place like that around. |
| I don't even like alcohol, but I really got this urge to just start mixing up fancy drinks and forcing people to drink them. I don't get the urge to drink them so much no. If bars were like that in real life I'd probably be more open to trying more drinks, so relaxing... but...eh. I'll stick to my root beer. |
| Yeah, and I'm only 15. I asked my dad what it tasted like and he let me try. :P |
| Yes! This anime is almost completely responsible for getting me interested in alcohol and my current obsession with mixing cocktails. I went out and bought a shaker and everything, lol... After finally finding a local supplier of apple brandy, the Jack Rose has become my signature cocktail- it's such a pretty color! |

| yes, but OTL i'm underage. i can't drink... well, can't wait until i'm old enough! |
| I think what I really like about this show is not that it made me want to drink, but more of how the story line actually helped me understand why different people do drink although some of the drinks seemed to look a bit yummy, lol. And that I'm old enough, I can go to the bar and try them. On the other hand, I wish that the bars around me were more like Eden Hall. |

tehnominator said: I really don't think that's what it was meant for... lol. I think its more along the lines that peoples problems can be fixed by the story of the drink.Bartender taught me a valuable lesson: all your problems can be solved with alcohol. |
|
| Every episode makes me want to make those drinks. I'm a bartender myself so I really enjoyed each episode and would make one of those drinks after work just to try the ones that were uncommon. |
| ~Lurna |
| Yeah it made me want to drink alcohol in order to forget that I ever bothered watching it. Garbage. |

| Time to resurrect a dead thread No, not really, but that is mostly because I work in the trade so I've tried(the ones I never heard of) or made these drinks for customers myself ect kadian1365 said: Last option made me lol. Yeah, drinking isn't as awesome as Bartender makes it out to be. Maybe because there aren't any bartenders or bars in RL as magically talented as Ryuu or supernaturally well-stocked as Eden Hall. You would be surprised by some of the amazing bars and bartenders out there and the bar I currently work in has a larger collection |

| I have never heard of this show. However. Anime in general is great to play drinking games to |
  |
| I really don't need anime for that, though some have you reaching for the bottle a bit quicker (Ergo Proxy, Cowboy Bebop, I'm looking at you!). Also, trying to loose weight is never an excuse to stop drinking. Just switch away from beer, mixed drinks, white wine, or whatever was making you fat in the first place. kereealazer said: This made me want to try some Japanese malts more then anything else. I want to taste the drinks in the show but I'm not making drinks just to watch Bartender :) Get some Nikka From the Barrel. It's not expensive, better than others that are, appreciated by experienced whisky drinkers, yet accessible enough for beginning whisky affecionados. |

| I am a drinker allready myself. But am always open to maybe try new things. I have never had a cocktail personally but yes this anime and the manga have inspirewd me to look more closely into the subject and maybe try a few myself |
| Sounds like a thread a 12 year old would make. |
| "Would gladly be regular at this type of bar and with such bartender..... I doubt nowadays bar's are anything similar to this.." was comment I wrote to this entry. |

wtfyourface said: And just to clear things up, drinking in real life just doesn't seem that great as it appears in the show. Drinking to get wasted is indeed not as great no. Sitting in a slighty dark bar with ambient music, watching a skilled bartender do his thing while drinking an amazing cocktail might be a bit great though. It's a shame there aren't many bars like that. Found one in Barcelona and it's the only one I've ever been to. |
| I have already enjoyed a good drink from time to time but this show made me wanna do my own drinks at home and for friends and family. Just a minute ago I ordered a highly rated book about making various drinks. So yea, it had an effect. |
| I've never liked the taste of alcohol. I think it's a little weird to spend money on most drinks that don't really taste all that good, just to get you to the point of intoxicated. But I've always thought mixology was a cool hobby that really had no benefit to me but nonetheless looked amazing with skill. It's basically chemistry you can drink. Now that I can get behind. |
 |
| I do think the way Bartender approaches alcohol usage is a little overselling and romanticized, portraying it as a sort of tool to reflect on oneself rather than escaping from life's hardships. But nevertheless I really enjoy the show for it's relaxing episodic nature and messages about life, dreams and passion. The narrating is top notch too. |
