Kat Hunter Art Bar
Age: 30ish. (Wink.) How long have you been tending bar? Eight years or so. What’s your favorite part of your job? The flow behind the bar when we’re in the middle of a rush. The way we move around each other reminds me of a cross between ballet and The Matrix. And tending bar during Mr. B’s Goodtime Karaoke Explosion can be interesting, to say the least. Least favorite? Disco burnout. I’ve had some nearmisses stepping on a liquor bottle cap or missing the edge of the catwalk while wearing platforms. What do you like to do when you’re not at work? I’m hoping to get into art school, so I’m trying to get a handle on sketching and sculpting. I retired from roller derby but still enjoy skating outdoors. Concerts, traveling and whatnot. What’s your favorite drink? Though I prefer straight whiskey paired with a good stout, my favorite drinks to prepare are Bend Me Over, Blue Motorcycle and a good ol’ Manhattan. What makes for a good customer? Customers who are courteous, quick to order when we are busy and have a form of payment ready rate high in my book. What’s your favorite part of Free Times? Tug. Eats. Everything. The Music Crawl. The music write-ups.
