Barman reveals the one simple trick that will guarantee you get served quicker in a packed pub
This little tip will help you by-pass the crowds, helping make the festive season all the more special.
A SIX-DEEP bar queue can be a nightmare to negotiate, with even the most determined drinker forced to wait their turn to get served.
But wait no longer, as one barman kindly reveals his cheeky tip guaranteed to get straight to the front of the pack – just in time for New Year’s Eve!
The 35-year-old from North London claims to be able to jump the queues by walking around the bar collecting empty glasses and stacking them up as if he works there.
He then walks through the crowd shouting “Excuse me, coming through” – and like Moses parting the Red Sea – the crowds move aside giving him direct shot at the bar.
A bar manager for 10 years, he told the Sun: “I cooked up this trick when I was in a packed live music bar.
"The bar was on the side, opposite the stage, and it was a nightmare working behind it - let alone for people trying to get a drink."
He added: "They'd be four people deep and all shouting over the music to be served.
"I used to scan the pub for empties and then bring them back to load the dishwasher, and I noticed a sea of people would part when I walked through.
"I started trying it on nights out and it worked!”

He added: "You have to do it with confidence; it's all in your stride.
"Then when you get to the bar, don't make eye contact with anyone around you - get in, and get out.
"Works every time."
With the festive season in full swing, he may just be the hero we need, but don’t deserve.
