They know your name, your schedule, and they’re so comfortable you half-expect them to start bussing tables — or worse, so settled in they’re ready to help you take drink orders, like you don’t already have it under control. 🍸 In this episode, G-Walk serves up the unfiltered truth about regulars: the ones who feel like part of the staff, the ones who think they own their barstool, and the ones who blur the line between “loyal guest” and “unpaid intern.” We’re breaking down how to celebrate their consistency without surrendering control, how to keep relationships genuine without losing boundaries, and why even the best vibes mean nothing if the register isn’t ringing.

And through it all, here’s the truth: regulars are the heartbeat of any great bar. Their loyalty, stories, and support make the long nights worth it — and we’re grateful for every one of them. But at the end of the night, great vibes and good business have to go hand in hand — one without the other just doesn’t keep the doors open.

What happens when two bartenders get thrown into one of the toughest, most disciplined restaurant environments in New York City — and somehow come out as lifelong friends?

In this episode of Billion Dollar Bartender, George “G-Walk” Nwokocha sits down with his brother-in-the-trenches, Steve Sherman, to reminisce about their early days at Houston’s (now Hillstone) — where perfection wasn’t requested, it was required.

From the mystery of how Steve somehow got hired without an interview to surviving one of the most intense training programs in the business, the two swap hilarious behind-the-bar stories and share what those days taught them about teamwork, temperament, and tenacity.
