Before he punches in he already has checked the room and picked up all the glassware. I love that about him. It shows he really cares about the appearance of the bar.” “He has an endless knowledge of classic horror movies, definitely has the best hair of team scheme, Pat genuinely is the sweetest.” “Pat is just a straight up cool guy. He’s modest, generous and funny as hell, not to mention his music taste is on point.” “Not only is Pat one of the best bartenders I know who makes delicious drinks, but he's also so damn nice and funny and could totally be a hair model.” “Pat is very modest. Any time he is paid a compliment he gets embarrassed and brushes it off. He has great taste in comics, movies, and music.” “A great co-worker and I love talking about movies and video games with him!” “Pat is one of a kind. So sweet, a great concert companion and has the best smile. He has a cautiousness to him that I understand well. He’s loyal and reliable and is wonderful to be around.” HELP US THROUGH THE SHUTDOWN: LINK IN BIO
