Hometown: Born and raised right here in Raleigh.
Your favorite drink: Nothing beats an icy cold Hells Belle from Big Boss.
Best movie ever: Hands down, it's "Wedding Crashers."
Favorite sports team college or pro: Im only slightly embarrassed to admit Im a huge Panthers fan, and you know I bleed that Wolfpack red.
Drink you least like to make: Anything with multiple layers of color. Its not the '80s people! Drink it because it tastes good, not because it looks so adorable.
What you drink at the end of your shift: Im a huge fan of the dirty martini and I like mine REALLY dirty.
Favorite song right now: "TiK ToK" by Ke$ha makes me want to dance. I have a thing for infectious dance-pop. Wait, youre not actually going to publish this, right?
People drink too much: Boring stuff because they dont know any better. Just ask us to make you something creative!
People don't drink enough: Barenjager. I dont think people realize just how delicious honey liqueur is ... well except for Winnie the Pooh ... that guy's always in here with his pal Christopher Robin downing that stuff!
Drink for a cold winter night: Quality bourbon. We have a great selection and I hope more people learn to appreciate a fine glass of Knob Creek or Basil Haydens.
Favorite '80s sitcom: "Saved By the Bell." I have every episode memorized, and Im pretty sure there was a good four-year span in my life where every conversation I ever had revolved solely around it.
Favorite local beer: Shotgun Betty. LoneRider brews it out by the Angus Barn and it's named after a feisty cow girl. They bring it to us by the truck load. Its delicious!
Kobe or LeBron: There are few people in the world as cool as LeBron James. Ive been writing MGM letters demanding they make a "Space Jam" sequel with me as his wise-cracking sidekick.
Facebook or Twitter: Twitter. Im a man on the go, and Im all for succinct communication. Follow me: @ZackTM
The best thing about drinking in the Triangle: Youre always a bar stool away from another best friend.
The worst thing about drinking in Triangle: Hillsborough Street construction!
A bartender's best friend is: Anyone willing to actually stay up past 4 a.m. so I have someone to hang out with when I get done!
Ever get a phone number while working? Yeah, but I never called him
Craziest thing you've seen while bartending: People sure have a hard time telling the difference between the bathroom and the rest of the bar when theyve tossed a few back. Focus, people! Its the room with all the toilets!
Favorite bar in the Triangle other than your own: Farmhouse on Hillsborough Street is my bar away from home. Mark and the gang know how to have a good time, and the wings rock!
