Wow, great talk! I can identify with the shyness. I overcame it and when visiting cocktail bars in London and Europe (a lot of the time solo abroad) the bartenders are the friendliest people ever. If I'm solo they'll talk to me, ask me about what I like, share knowledge about other bars, places, food, travel (it's a small world and everyone kind of knows or knows of each other). Hey, it's not a coincidence that booze helps people open up and sometimes bartenders are basically therapists!
The girl asking what do you do when you had rough night? When I started, I had a bartender tell me what happens at the bar stays at the bar. I really try not to carry my work home.
After 3 decades this hit hard. A lot of things I have gone through as well.

Thank you, and thank you for sharing your experience!
One of my biggest regrets is not getting a chance to go to Pepe La Moko or Clyde Common
Yeah it’s a massive bummer. But we’ve got a great bar called Pacific Standard now that I think you’ll love.

I do too, but some days it's easier said than done for me.
