The Return of the King

[@Kyguy922]

This guy needs his own show! A version of Comedians in Cars getting coffee but for bars around New York/ the world. I would pay to watch it.

[@EH23831]

Yaaaas! 🙌🏻

[@malloryg4251]

What a great idea! I love Comedians in Cars.

[@trashleigh87]

Artisans In Bars Getting Sloshy.

[@justin.booth.]

This dude is an amazing presenter! More please!

[@rudyseidl7645]

Agreed! More please.

[@mattyp6908]

Yeah I just stumbled across this channel n I love this guy’s vibes

[@MissySimpleM]

He's an immortal yet everyone thinks he's joking when he says he's been bartending for a century or two!

[@frankbradley4487]

I hear that he has served Thor some beer and wine in the past.

[@Cali1030]

Glad to see him in another video! Charismatic and very informative! Hope he continues to be a part of future BA videos.

[@juggalochef2399]

Tim is such a cool guy, his personality SHINES throughout, more of this please!

[@joshsinclair7548]

You never lost my attention. Please give this guy a show.

[@bencegabor648]

The betting part was too personal😂😂😂

[@dawntiffin9894]

😂

[@nerd26373]

The bartender sure has some amazing skills. We all look forward to see what else he has in store for us.

[@yunac9378]

I love this - mix of history, sales/visuals, but also very practical advice on how to make your cocktails more appealing

[@SteveSchleicherActor]

As a new bartender, this was super informative but the Boise State reference had me laughing until I cried! 🤣🤣🤣

[@ladyrinrin3520]

I dont drink and i dont know nothing about each glass. The way he talk made me watch until the end. I really like how he explain everything. Thanks for making thus video. I hope you'll make another video again

[@nillavanilla7796]

Yesterday I rewatched the video about him at the Rockefeller Center's Cocktail Bar, glad to see him back for another one!

[@musicis4you888]

This guy needs a show

[@joannenorris8102]

Tim Sweeney rocks. More TS videos on BA please

[@emmaforti4672]

Cheers to the bar! Fun fact: tapping your glass on the bar before drinking became a secret message in the last Italian independence war, to figure out Austrian/German spies. Now it's just a tradition and I do it on reflex, so that was a fun story while I was abroad with some German friends😂

[@DownRangeSportsCanada]

Seriously we need more of this guy, just great!

[@YFleiter]

HE´S BACK!!

[@Visualize01]

I definitely wanna see more of Tim!

[@michellehurst3797]

"Cheers to the bar"........ Love that! 🍸🍹

[@michaeloporto5202]

This guy is fantastic.

[@johnnykhayek5932]

Love this bartender and the content

[@Burnt_Gerbil]

A giraffe walks into a bar and says, “Hey fellas… the high balls are on me.” I’ll show myself out. 😂

[@Zunip182]

Very very very very very great break down.

[@AmyManeelyPrescottRealEstate]

Love this!! Thanks for the information and fun.

[@sebastianfrank4295]

This is such a cool guy! I really enjoy him talking tbh

[@StevetheBartender_]

[@annaelisavettavonnedozza9607]

This is one of the only vids I watched all the way through. He is awesome. Also for what it’s worth-I like the traditional Tiki glass 🗿🍹

[@Allyplectura]

This was funny and informative! Gotta stock up on my glasses to try some drinks!

[@Jet_Rodriguez_]

Really enjoyed this 🍻🍹🍸🥃🍷

[@MalikBarrow16]

Beautiful video

[@Misana]

Thank you for sharing.

[@bob___]

This was a great video. (I've never watched this channel before)

[@imaman1212]

This guy and Pebble Bar are the best

[@emmanueltuisaua7204]

ANOTHER EPISODE NOW

[@steffanhegeman6351]

Def makes me appreciate cocktails more.

[@garrettorpin6584]

12:08 is absolutely epic.

[@JM-js7nq]

amazing

[@trashleigh87]

Fascinating! Feeling embarrassed now for all the years I've asked for my gin lime and sodas in a highball with half ice.

[@Rentaro89]

😂 The Tiki Mug for murky brown remembers me of the time we invented an amazing cocktail with leftovers that we then called "Rinse water". It made it on the menu, no ceramic mug necessary to hide the color.

[@teslakanta8869]

That sounds really cool. What kind of leftovers would make it in?

[@Rentaro89]

@@teslakanta8869 sorry, I don't remember. The base was mostly a drink called "Elfblood" on the menu and as it mixed with orange juice it got that brown-grey color like rinsewater.

[@PurplePunchini]

A true need to have in Sweden is the aquavit glas or the Schnapps glass. I do need to get one of those double rocks glasses though, i like to have my painkillers in a tumbler

[@Pheorach]

I definitely experienced the importance of glassware when I was served an IPA in a "can" shaped glass and found it almost undrinkable until I sipped enough to make room at the top of the glass.

[@karateman302]

I was in Chicago for a summer and my favorite bar was Three Dots And a Dash. The second I saw that tiki mug, I instantly recognized it and now have the strong desire for deceptively strong cocktails xD

[@saint9715]

what a king

[@justinf3278]

Diggin that totally hypothetical reason for shots

[@cristianrodriguez2897]

great video

[@ninatanlaven7154]

i stumbled across this video and am so glad i did because I had seen the nick and nora glasses in a dream--yes a dream-- and looked all over for them but didn't know what they were called. Now that I know its name I'm going to order them for my apartment!

[@jrk41599]

Very informative! Surprised Glencairn wasn't on the list.

[@Narra0002]

Very informative

[@arturorsg1]

Great video

[@fennec_5921]

this guy says "cream" like that dude who tastes chocolate in the meme video i enjoy it

[@Booshay__]

This guy was great in the last video

[@beaumair2083]

Lol, that betting line got me, been there! 😂😂😂

[@lekiscool]

If you bartended in the 90s and then in the 00s that is technically two centuries. 😂

[@martijnkleinheerenbrink8010]

The myth, the legend, Tim Sweeney!🤩

[@adelheidsnel5171]

Maestro🥂

[@diegomacias4787]

I honestly already knew all of these surprised you didnt mention the glencairn aince you seem to be into whiskey . But Im NGL I had no idea double rocks were a thing tbh lol so I did leanr something.

[@oldsoul3576]

well done.........................well done indeed!

[@Frdunsing]

Nice 😊

[@JoseRodriguez-bo1br]

The shot glass was awesome 😂

[@TheBadseamstress]

I appreciate the BSU shout out

[@MS28227]

He really needs his own show

[@daneflanigan]

My next trip to NYC…. He’s pouring the drinks!

[@jonnnyroundsy3107]

Timothy Sweeney is a monster of knowledge bombs. Austin misses him. Enjoy NYC and KZbin!

[@mrjuly302]

3 essential glasses to rin a bar: - Coupe - Highball - Lowball

[@anonymousname8833]

I LOVE this guy!

[@todddubeck]

The Glencairn should have been featured as the go to whiskey/bourbon glass

[@LarryM370]

Coupe, highball and double rocks, the three essentials. Noted.

[@retronartz1268]

Kind of a nitpick but I take issue with a coupe being described as the replacement for the martini glass. The coupe and the Nick/Nora glass were the go to glass for cocktails basically until the 1970's, when the Martini glass came into vogue. The Martini glass was the replacement glass for the coupe! which eventually faded away and is now mostly only used for martinis, manhattans and cosmos.

[@magicsteve5523]

Over here in Scotland highball glasses are commonly called “slim jims”

[@skylerwittman]

Wow, Shoenice has really upgraded his game

[@heatalldayy]

As a Latino I instinctively said pa arriba pa abajo pal centro pa dentro when he took the shot 😂

[@lukesworkshop5371]

This dude is awesome and great on camera. I do disagree with only 3 glasses though. Every bar needs cheap glass shotglass. Yes you can serve a shot amount in a large glass but to me its not the same as the shot glass.

[@JuddFudgeman]

No wine glass on the “bar necessities” list 😂😂

[@AlohaLowah]

That stemware was swoon worthy!!

[@cbrad-eo6nt]

I'm back to listen to literally everything Tim Sweeney says.

[@DavidAllanCoderre]

5:51 is there a fly buzzing around?

[@LG-jn6do]

Fun video very informative but wheres the glencairn? Or the spanish goblet?
