About this episode

Dani Brand discusses modern dating in bars and shares insights from her experience as a bartender.

As bartenders, we have a front-row seat to the modern dating scene — every night, we watch hopeful patrons shoot their shot, and most of them could use some coaching. Which is why this week we are joined by Dani Brand, writer and New York City bartender whose recent InsideHook article, "How to Hit on a Woman at a Bar," has been making the rounds across the industry. So tune in, as she shares what she has learned from years behind the stick, from why buying a stranger a drink rarely works to why there is still no better place to meet someone than over a well-made drink.
