Chili, our staff will be all female. I will not solicit any of Bill's staff under any circumstances. Even if one shows up with a resume in hand they would have to discuss it with Bill prior to me even granting them an interview. I have huge respect for what Bill has accomplished at the SL (remember 6 years ago the vets laughed at the idea of a little hotel with girls not in the gulch making it). I also consider Bill a close personal friend. Our target list does include a lot of faces familiar to many of you that have come by to inquire about work.
Well said BK and I agree %100..
Perhaps instead of looking for every fallacy to these plans we should be behind and supportive of BK and what they are trying to do. I always say you want good things for good people and BK certainly qualifies. Let's be lucky we have a guy like him in charge of things, instead of that dip shit in Colombia that doesn't allow smoking and stuff..
Thanks for the efforts and taking what we have to say in consideration, I have no doubt we are at the beggining's of something really good....

I agree 100%. And I am not knocking an all-female bar staff. Hell, it's what we all want. But you can forget top-notch service. The problem is US. Guys screw with female bartenders and they flirt back. We encourage them to behave like girls and that detracts from the actual business of tending bar. Bars are guy-centric, and in my experience guys pay 90%+ of bar tabs. You give them eye candy and the girls will spend at least as much time screwing around with the guys as they do mixing drinks.
I have been to exactly ONE bar in my entire lifetime that had what I would consider a top-quality female bartender, and that was at a high-roller bar in Vegas. Reportedly the girl's salary (not including tips) was over $150K per year. Other than that, unless you see a 30+ guy in a suit or tux, expect to be disappointed if all you're looking for is bar service.
Face it guys, it's all about the bling. SL gets racked from time-to-time for its service. It happens at HDR and it will happen at Dunn. We are getting what we ask for and have no grounds for complaint. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm willing to wait an extra couple of minutes and to explain how to make a tom collins.

SL has the worst of both worlds, bad bar service and ugly bartenders. Sorry, use to be a supporter of the place but its gone downhill fast. Looking forward to Dunn Inn.
