Best Bartender Poems

A confession to the 
bartender
The one with the drink in 
her hand
The one who looks just 
like my bottle...
A glass would do
Or make it two
So i can pour out my 
heart to you...
So i can make my 
bitterness come 
through...
You remind me of my 
lady

Listen here, buddy,
I'm in control.
If you don't like it,
Then go for a stroll.

There is more than one exit,
And I can give you directions.
I don't care what you think,
 I don't need your objections.

I can get to be  a b---h,
In two seconds flat.
I can also...

I swam through a ocean of illusion
Dying of thirst
Going through the motions of confusion
Fearing the worst
I came upon her canteen
Seeking a cup of real
If for nothing else
A sip for my last meal...

I am Kerris Hakim, bartender trade by night.  Here at Fahrenheit Lounge I've heard
Stories of patrons who dared to live, and lovers who had suddenly died.  
Graduating from law school without a dime. 
Over gin and tonic I've listened to all arrays of...

Another Round Bartender 


Today I went out for a cruise
By accident came cross some booze
Said hay sir partner
Fell off the counter
Yelled bring me ten more and snoozed

Oh dear friend of mine
I need to tell you about me and my wine
It always goes down so smooth
All of my cares it does soothe

Then when I go home 
To my frig I do roam
Inside another bottle of wine does set
So needless to say another...

Bartender, Bartender . . . mix me a drink . . .
and give me one of your alchemic, mystic concoctions.

Bartender, Bartender . . . tell me what you think . . .
as you give me your magnificent magic elixir. 

Bartender, Bartender . . . I...

Twenty two years had passed  by

She blinked, and a lifetime had passed

She started this job as a lark

She never thought it would last

Two husbands and rehab were part of this bar

The husbands...her clients all knew

But the rehab, was hers...and hers all alone

Only one in...

Women Bartender Parties 

Their eyes watched 
the bartender,
like a tennis ball, 
volleying to each side, 
bouncing, soft like 
from side to side 
of the bar, filling drinks
and old men's hearts
with wet dreams,
prompting the men 
on gathering closer
to the campfire.
She was hot.
Their necks stretched,
minds made pseudo
claims,...

He would sit on the same stool everyday
And watch, as I tended bar
Conversation flowing between us
As I kept refreshing his jar
At the end of my shift, I’d sit with him
And we’d put the world to right
Forgetting the world around us
Talking ‘til well into night
Days became...

Cletus Schlunk went on a weekend bender.

   He kept saying, "Jesh one more, bartender!"

      He stumbled out of the bar,

         Speeding away in his car,

BARTENDER! BARTENDER! Pour me a drink if you please
strongest you got...get the lime twist it, with a squeeze.
Had a rough night last night..got a bug for your ear
Pour yourself a stiff one..buddy... come-sit right here.
Remember the man I told you about -I saw the other...

Here, as I stand lost in a sea.
In a world that looks like a storm to me!
I hold it in, way down deep!
Next to my breath,
there's a secret I hide, a secret I keep!
I wonder...
How the absence of sight could be,
when my life is surrounded...

At the end of a long hard day,
I like to enjoy a refreshing cold one -
a nice frosty......popsicle!

Flashing lights and sounds roll by
Hear the sound of muffled sighs
Sullen words cannot express
Just confess, and lift it off your chest
Told the priest would hear your cries
If you don't feed him blatent lies

Oh he's your only friend 
But he don't want to hear your...
