Midwest Bar Rules

[@MegaMantim]

Stopped at a biker bar had a beer and just as we were leaving hit the juke box for about 10 disco songs and got the hell out there real fast!!

[@zbruh7268]

I use to sit at the bar and play WAP and closing time at the local moose lodges lmao 🤣

[@VioletJoy]

😂

[@kenitsanoutragecandia3939]

Pro Tip: Play a Steppenwolf song as your first pick and just mosey on outta there. But you probably get more of an adreanaline rush by picking a Brittany song first and just bailing. So well done sir.

[@VioletJoy]

@@kenitsanoutragecandia3939 Brilliant.

[@bradyphillips1721]

You’re a hero!

[@danlam4877]

The uncertainty in his smile for "curdeous" made me day

[@doorsofperception]

"ah'yu'sure?" really got me

[@finnie9223]

Word of advice, 2112 overture by rush. Best song to play every time

[@edwardranno7119]

I lived in Minnesota for 5 years after coming from NJ....it’s a completely different world

[@cws4657]

Ya NJ sucks eggs

[@MBrulla]

You're wrong about the 15 minute curd. No one lets curds sit that long. Gets down to the last one and you automatically throw out the "anyone want the last one?"

[@Squince01]

Also I'd like to add that some of us want Marinara sauce with our curds. So please bring ranch AND Marinara, thank you🍻

[@patricktaylor7021]

​@Squince01 how dare you?

[@micahphilson]

Agreed. Like, I'll wait a couple minutes, but if it's sittin', don't want it to get cold. That good ol' squeaky mouthfeel only lasts a few minutes, then it becomes almost grating. Gots to have it while it's still a little above room temp.

[@micahphilson]

@@Squince01 Ew. I mean, I get it... but at the same time, I'd never. The flavor's all in the cheese.

[@section8usmc53]

​@@micahphilsonThen why order curds? I've always got at least s few pounds of various cheese in the fridge at home. Even most gas stations here in Wisconsin carry sausage and cheese from local meat markets and dairies. If I want plain cheese, I'll just stay home, or grab some on the way home. Our local dairy has fresh curds twice a week. Battered or breaded and deep fried curds is basically fair food, which is why it's in bars in the most alcoholic states in the country.

[@mattb3309]

Loved the sly smile after 'curd-eous'

[@thebenforever]

This man just stared me in the eyeballs and said "Curd-eous". 🤣

[@jborgstrom7897]

Very true about the dice! I've seen fistfights break out over this

[@jakesterrett3755]

Watched a guy cut a deck of cards twice before dealing, the table broke up and left.

[@marcw6875]

Good to know about that dice rule. I mean, I'm almost 49 and have never been part of the bar life, so it seems highly unlikely that I'll start now, but still. Good to know. :p

[@micahphilson]

The second one always makes me uncomfortable. I never wave money, but sometimes they're just that busy and you can't get their attention. I always feel terrible, apologize, realize I'm wasting their time apologizing, order, and tip *heavily* as any good apologetic midwesterner is to do. They really do be doing God's work.

[@rizingdemonable]

As someone that isn't from the coast or the Midwest (kentucky) and am a full grown adult...... I've never heard of a pull tab until now, I've been all across the country by driving and just never encountered this.

[@Ndizzyinthehizzy]

You should do a video about Judy's in Grand Forks. It would great for the small town bar series, and there's really no place like it.

[@MST3Killa]

I drive by my local dive bar every day at around midnight after work on my way home and will play a song on the box just to bug the bartenders. Can't Hardly Stand It by Charlie Feathers usually does the job, or maybe Surfin' Bird. I mean, I love those songs but they hate them lol.

[@fitzy28101]

You're a menace 😂

[@MST3Killa]

​@@fitzy28101I do only what I must. For my own amusement

[@mikemooch7719]

My wife & I made friends with a bartender in St Pete Beach while in vacation. After I found out she hates the song Stacey’s mom i vowed to play it every Friday for her. That was July 2021 & I haven’t missed a Friday yet.

[@JustThatOneRandomGuy]

@@mikemooch7719you are doing gods work. Keep it up 🫡

[@jsshambaugh]

I set at home and blast classical and Spanish music every weekend

[@burtbrooks7731]

RULE #1 should always be- tip your bartender 👍 unless they’re a good friend then you gotta mess with them before the actual tip😂

[@rscraig9855]

Who's ordering cheesecurds to share?? If you touch my curds, I'll break your fingers.

[@robsimpson6537]

An Easter Sunday rule at the hot corner in oak lawn Illinois is only take one hidden Easter shot in the room. One per customer.

[@nfronning]

Nice to hear a Clitherall reference! Your video from Sportsman’s was so wild to see 😂

[@rwchidester]

Every one of them is spot on.

[@TtheSilverStacker]

Good rules. Do they apply to the local Moose Lodge?

[@gordo608]

1:03 absolutely not. If they didn't want me to play "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred in Spanish, they shouldn't have it on the jukebox.

[@kenitsanoutragecandia3939]

Facts!

[@stevenbuis4490]

I always call a female bartender NURSE. They love it.

[@joetech4054]

I use “beertend’ress” lol

[@golfnguns443]

I use”bar keep”

[@GearedUndersGoToGuy]

Ice cold beer doesn`t always come to those who wait. There were nights out when I was younger when I waiting at least half a hour with no acknowledgement that i was there from the bar tender.

[@YouYou-iu4wo]

Dude, that bar looks The Turf bar next town over from me... Exactly like it...

[@moose.knuckle]

So that's how I pissed off the pull tabs gods

[@ninjaknome]

That looks like your at the Wild Rice Bar and Grill. Cool place, if I remember correctly

[@wesley1983]

Midwest Bar Rule Number 6: No AB beer not even Busch!!

[@samrustan]

Solid rules. Solid.

[@hawaiianrussian1047]

The jukebox rule is golden , play classic bar songs that everyone knows or adheres to the older crowds . The last thing you wanna do is start playing the latest rap/hip hop hit and have everyone give you that disappointed look and have zero chances of anyone buying you a drink lol

[@goldbud2287]

Put in $5 and play the same hated song 20 times just before you leave 😂

[@modjohnsenglishdisco]

In Cheyenne Wells, Colorado, I walked into a bar playing typical modern bro country, which eventually morphed into early 80s gangster rap (?!). By the end of the night I was dropping bars with the tenders. They stopped caring I was from Denver, but I didn't dare touch the jukebox.

[@treebeard8475]

This is correct. I go when the old timers are at the bar it’s quiet. I’ll play traffic, little feat, maybe some Willie Nelson. Played live Santana at Woodstock once and this old hippy froze when he heard the first notes the bartender thought he was having a stroke and I was like nah he’s just time traveling.

[@RegularMatt82]

In Australia we'd use that Dice Cup as a Stubbie Holder

[@gatorsmld7480]

The bartender one also goes for here in the south! I’ve seen guys get completely ignored for being d-bags. Rule #1 should read - “Don’t be THAT guy”.

[@puckrocker854]

Addendum to rule #4: cheese curds are a single bite food, especially if they are there for the table. Don't double dip the ranch cup if you only nibbled off half a curd Addendum to rule #5: pull tabs. Don't sit on winners. If you pull a 100 or 200 dollar winner, you go straight to the window after your stack is done. Don't let the rest of the bar play with false hope.

[@kenbrown5449]

#5 addendum shows you are a credit to the human race! ⬆

[@bluemeister7]

Amen too #5. You're an arse if you sit on winners regardless, but MN dealers are also allowed to NOT redeem them if it's over a certain amount of time (especially if it looks like you're intentionally holding them, harassing other customers, etc). I deal tabs as a second job, thankfully most people are cool about it.

[@blastbeat4]

Went to a small town bar the other day and someone played like six Avir Lavigne songs back to back. It was torture lmao

[@aprilrasmussen2096]

These rules really do apply. David Allen Coe!

[@sarawillis6024]

Wow, as a gal from Ohio I didn’t even think these rules needed to be said! Glad the “Southerners” have now been taught!

[@chadcook3709]

I actually played pull tabs for the first time ever. I’m 47 lol. I was at the sweepstakes place and bought 3. Actually won $1 😂😂😂

[@JonBooks]

So true!

[@georgemitchell9696]

The man is right. Works in California also.

[@Columbus1492]

Hi Jonathan I install garage doors for a living what do you do for a living?

[@Themuffinman1820]

I dont think my small town central IL bar has pull tab

[@StuffWithKirby]

I enjoy playing the weird songs and edm songs on the jukebox. If i have to hear some garbage country song you get to listen to one trick pony by deadmau5

[@davesmilingcoyote]

Born and raised along the Gulf Coast.. What in the hell is a “pull tab”? Also, what in the hell is a “curd”?

[@adamwright6433]

Pickles, not pull tabs!

[@shawnmichael6723]

Always tip your bartender

[@karlaruter3221]

😂! Love it!

[@KarlWad]

Always tip your bartender AND the person managing the pull tab box (if you win)…unless you got ‘em from a vending machine

[@haloguy420]

You're at Wild Rice bar.

[@LesPodsiadlik]

Here’s a tip most jukeboxes have a app so you don’t even need to be in the bar to play a crappy songs

[@remydaitch9815]

God's Work.

[@ryanchristian3977]

Hank Williams?

[@blenk9607]

People take them pull tabs way too serious. Always observe the room and dont jump in if somebody is deep into them

[@lavin214]

Curdious...I see what you did there.

[@mythical_pizza]

If you wanna sound like youre from the midwest without just saying staple phrases, eliminate half the consonants in everything you say. "What do you mean" becomes "whadyamean". "There you go" becomes "Theyago". "Ahyasur" was a great example.

[@puffito23]

Another pull tab curtesy- if you have a winner, pull the damn tabs off the ticket before giving it to the barkeep so they can stack them or bag them neatly. Same rule as lotto tickets. Scratch the barcode for the cashier if you’re not self scanning. Don’t be a dick.

[@fredhammer6413]

This video makes me glad I don’t live anywhere near where this guy is from.

[@lilman6163]

[@snoopy12isbest40]

you should have said dont be a dummy tip a 20

[@tm3389]

Play Creed?

[@CoolBanana12345]

I thought I was the only one who listened to Eric churhc

[@puffito23]

Rule 6. If you play video slots dont walk away like a poor sport when you have less than 40 cents left. Play it out so others know you’re done and dont leave an empty bottle or watered down have finished mixer on the machine. Give them the indication it’s now their turn to donate their paycheck to the tavern league. And don’t cash out under $20 or some odd random amount. Even it up. Nice increments of 20. Thinknof it as a bank withdrawal. Nobody withdraws $18.63 or $113.00.

[@littlemac844]

I'm not getting notifications. Bummer...ya.

[@madtownangler]

I play heavy metal from Europe in bars. They don't make too much metal here anymore that's any good Who listens to freaking Creed LOL.

Tip #1: Don't drink Mulvaney Light.

[@zacharyjamesarthurpeterson]

Do people in the bars watch you film this once, then go home and watch it again, ya think?

[@charlesstaropoli3124]

I’ve never been to a bar in my entire life that had a jukebox in it maybe a dirty strip club out side of Camp Lejeune, but never a bar 😂

[@b516uck]

curdeous

[@c0c0_l0ud7]

I love to pull up to small town bars, load up touch tunes on my phone, play some 2 Live Crew, and drive away. It works best during the day when the crowd is a bunch of old guys slowly wasting away.

[@yucatansuckaman5726]

I tried to do that but some old guy or the bartender would always have that shit locked down on 4 hours of sad old country music 😂

Your rules are literal garbage! Ive seen rules #1 and #2 broken sooooo many times, especially Wisconsin people, #3, #4, and #5 it's a free for all. I'm having the last curd, I'm not listening to the same dumb song over and over again. Plus if the regulars piss you off, You have to play annoying songs to teach them a lesson.
