John is the our bartender in this video and he is also the owner of Bad Decisions. This place is a pretty neat place. Not your coat and tie bar. It is a neighborhood bar that offers a large menu of drinks that John and his bartenders have made. They have a book that is not your typical book All of the drinks are listed in the book handwritten. This place is not only well known for its creative cocktails. But also its Bacon night. A fun place to visit.
