Bartender of the Week

Folks, meet Matt. Matt works at a joint I like to hang out in in New West. He’s a quick and entertaining bartender and he laughs at my jokes. Some of you may recognize him from slangin’ drinks around the LM, but The Drink Urban Lounge is fortunate enough to have him now. You are thinking there are no decent joints in New West anymore and you’d be wrong. The Drink is located on Columbia, 609, between the cop shop and, umm, the skytrain. Great place to bring a date and chill out. Real lounge style atmosphere with good music, cool servers and a stellar bartender, the aforementioned Matt. I met him there a few months ago, and the practiced hand with which he crafted a Whiskey Sour spoke volumes about his experience behind the Wood. I would highly recommend The Drink any night of the week, including the weekend. New Westminster looks like its shaping up in the past few years, and I for one am happy that a place like The Drink has staked its claim as a place to be for stylish, happening types like myself. Be stylish and happening. Dress cool, no hoodies or booty shorts. Its a casual atmosphere with nice low lighting where you can hang out with folks who like a nice mixed crowd, nice mixed beverages and a nice mixture of lovely females.
