A newly formed singles club is meeting here at M’Coul’s, as I type, on Valentine’s Day. I LOVE IT!

Earlier, I was sitting at the bar talking with my dear friend, Ed. It was middle of the afternoon so there weren’t many people in the pub when this 20-something dude (and believe me, he wasn’t a man, “dude” is being generous) comes in. He looks at me and says, “Hey, you wanna […]

My friend Tracy has a service dog named Tunkha. He goes with her everywhere, including M’Coul’s. So the other evening I was sitting with Tracy at the bar and noticed some men across the bar staring at her. She’s a stunning woman, so it wasn’t hard to imagine why the men were […]

It’s a good day for a Guinness! We are in a statewide contest for the perfect pint of Guinness and as of today, we’re in second place in the state. If you text that you’ve had the perfect pint to this number (88500), then you’re entered to win a trip to Dublin. […]

It being Halloween, I thought I’d share another ghost story…
It was a beautiful night in late August.  I was standing in the upstairs bar of M’Coul’s talking to one of my dearest customers, Scotte.  The inside was pretty empty but for Scotte and me, and a bartender running around.  Everyone else […]

We just finished hosting the first of two nights of our autumn Harvest Beer Dinner.  It was my favorite one yet.   The second course featured La Chouff  Golden Ale paired with lamb carbonnade and buttery tarragon spaetzle.  Just the smell of it was the best thing in the world!  My hat is off to the […]

We are getting ready for another one of our beer dinners this month. We do them about every 3 months to kind of kick off the season and to get some folks together who enjoy beer about as much as we do. I guess you could call us “beer nerds”. Basically, it’s […]

Don’t apply Saturday night while bringing in and eating food from another place.
Spit out your gum.
Never apply at a restaurant during lunch or dinner. Seriously.
If you BFF worked for me and stole from me, don’t list them as a reference.
Don’t order a beer while waiting for an interview.
Don’t smell like beer […]

So, one night I was training a new bartender in the downstairs bar at M’Coul’s. The upstairs bar was already closed and I kept hearing a group of women erupting in laughter every few minutes. I kept running upstairs into the dark bar and tried to follow the voices and laughter, but it […]

Never say, “I heard you guys were a$$holes to work for so I thought I’d check it out for myself.”
Do not go drinking before your interview.
Come in with your own pen. If you are handed a crayon, do NOT fill out the application with it.
Do not say things like, “I want to work the […]
