Behind Bars: The Straight-Up Tales Of A Big-City Bartender
Now in paperback: In Behind Bars, the bartending equivalent of the wildly successful Kitchen Confidential, Ty Wenzel spares no details about her ten challenging years as a bartender at a hip Lower East Side bar in New York City. Review ?Wenzel's pulp-fiction prose can hold its own against Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential....Compulsively readable.? ?Elle ?A superb memoir of urban life...sharp-witted and complex....Behind Bars delivers a subtle and mature personal narrative.? ?Minneapolis Star Tribune From the Inside Flap "There are eight million stories in the naked city and bartender Ty Wenzel has heard every one of them. She shares some of the best here in a wild, funny and sometimes horrifying account of life behind the bar. This a wicked shot of truth-served straight up." - Debra Ginsberg, author of Waiting: The True Confessions of a Waitress "Having been employed at Marion's during Ty's reign, I can only say I wish I would have paid more attention during my tenure, so I could publish a snappy tell-all. All I'm left with after years of waiting on tables are corns on my feet and a tin full of change." - Amy Sedaris, actress and former Marion's waitress "In Behind Bars Ty Wenzel tells her story with humor, honesty, and courage, exposing details about her life that many of us would shudder to expose to the cold light of the printed page. Bravo!" - Dale DeGroff, "King Cocktail," former Rainbow Room bartender, and author of The Craft of the Cocktail "Ty pours out some great tips for bar patrons and great stories about them. I recommend this book to anyone who's ever sat on either side of the bar." - Ray Foley, publisher of Bartender magazine "New York is changing. I know that's old man to say, but it is. Ty's stories capture a time that will be completely gone soon! Capture it beautifully and honestly. Enjoy them . . . cherish them." - Dito Montiel, author of A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints From the Back Cover "There are eight million stories in the naked city and bartender Ty Wenzel has heard every one of them.
