Also a former bartender, worked in a very popular bar/restaurant in La Jolla, definitely a regular crowd shuffling in. Most memorable were the kids from crazy rich Mexico City families that tossed money around, the female real estate agents drinking cheap wine-by-glass until a guy bought them something decent, and the Del Mar track season people. Then there was Jeffery, dressed in expensive clothes, sporting a fake British accent, who made his living stepping in front of cars at opportune moments. We could always tell when he was working - he sported the same neck brace every time. He would close the bar 3x a week drinking well gin martini's up with an onion and never tipped.
Working that industry yes I did have 1-2 goto bars to unwind after work. That was a different lifetime and now the wife and I enjoy a glass (or two) of wine at home.
