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.

[justin.booth.]

This dude is an amazing presenter! More please!

[Cali]

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

[juggalochef]

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

[MissySimpleM]

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

[yunac]

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

[joshsinclair]

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

[sophiaisabelle]

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

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

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!

[SteveSchleicherActor]

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

[joannenorris]

Tim Sweeney rocks. More TS videos on BA please

[StevetheBartender_]

I love those Riedel glasses.. but Nick & Nora's would be my favourite to use for cocktails! 😁😁

[ladyrinrin]

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

[joeybear]

i always dig it when this dude does a video!

[Burnt_Gerbil]

A giraffe walks into a bar and says, “Hey fellas… the high balls are on me.”

I’ll show myself out. 😂

[michellehurst]

I enjoyed this video immensely! Now I want to try all of those cocktails!

[ben]

[Grim_medic]
