 Hey, man, all these gangsta music, I like it. OK. Mom's just saying, we got shit to do. We got shit to do, man. We got to get serious. You're right, you're right. What the teacher saying when she come back in the classroom? Hey, get back on task. I think it's about that time for me to let these people know the black market is open. You got this stick on your teeth. OK, thank you. I got you. Thanks for letting me know. Dang, how long it's been there? I think you just did it. OK. Because it wasn't there previously. OK, thanks you for not having me look crazy on camera. I would never have you look crazy. Some people don't like to do that. I should have just let it ride. You saw the character man's stick on that tape. No, because the women in the comments wouldn't let me have it. He kind of told us she had lipstick. But I don't know how to. What's the protocol for stuff like that? Just like that. Oh my god, you have a lipstick on your teeth? That's what I would rather somebody tell me than let me walk around with lipstick on my teeth. Oh, OK. I personally prefer that. All right, fuck it. See, we don't know. If you don't wipe that shit off, it's just going to stay. We thought that you could eventually talk it off, but it will stay. Not really, thick. That would have been on here this whole interview. Well, I got to catch you up on what's been going on, on previous episodes of the black market. We have had all kinds of people come through here selling all kinds of exotic animals, snow suits, boots, college applications, watches, ice cream, desserts, all types of exotic blunts and lighters, tequila. Everything that you can imagine, we've tried to find at least one in the market that was black-owned, or at least minority. And here you are today with another successful black-owned business. Really cocktail-less. I want you to introduce yourself to the people of the black market, introduce your business, and let them know what you got going on. All right, what's up, black market? I am Brittany Michelle. Hey, Brittany. Hey. What's up, Brittany? I am the CEO and founder of Bar-Friending Mobile. We are a mobile cocktail service, full service. We pride ourselves on professionalism, great cocktails, and creating everlasting memories. So our whole thing is, our whole model is turning strangers into friends, one cocktail at a time. So let me answer this. Were you always the friend that would pull up with the liquor? Always, like, since day one. Always, since I got my bartender license and I was 20. Now I'm saying, like, even in your civilian life, did you, like, man, call Brittany and then you pull up and you just got the liquor? I mean, I was always the one that pulled up and made the drinks. Somebody may provide the liquor, because I'm the woman I like to come to the events and the liquor be there. But I was always the one they called to make the liquor, make the drinks. OK. So you got some cocktails that you made. They look real exotic and expensive, what you got over. OK, so a lot of my drinks are fresh, homemade. We like to just make a lot of our mixers in-house. So this is actually tequila, blended peach, and rosemary, simple syrup, topped with raspberries, just to cool it down, to, like, add some frozen raspberries just to add a chill to it. So I figured I'm a Georgia peach. I'm on an 85-style show. Might as well, you know, bring my peach cocktail. That's what I was trying to do there. But it's good. Which one of yours? I'm going to drink this one. OK. They the same though. All right, I'm just saying, because I thought you was going to take the one in the glass so you could show people, as we do this, how to drink like that, you know what I'm saying? I can do that. I can do that. No, neither one of them have been, like, drank that. OK. I will. So this is how I hold my martini glasses. OK. And you shouldn't have a straw. Most of the time, I don't think you should have a straw martini glasses. But yeah, see, people. OK, so give me the basic rundown of the business. When you say mobile bar tend to serve, what is that? OK, so we pull up to any event where liquor is served. So we now have a actual mobile bar. So we pull up. It's on wheels. We can change the branding. So I've been here my whole life. So what I've realized is that a lot of people in Atlanta love to add a little taste of luxury to make them feel like, you know, celebrities in the whole event. You got a hooker. We don't have a hooker. Oh, I was about to say, y'all. You pulling up with the drinks and the hooker? No, I stay in my lane. I'm a cocktail girl. I'm a cocktail girl. I don't pull up with the hooker. Now, if you want to do a little partnership, we can do that. I got about two, three people who have set that hooker up. We can do that. I mean, most of the events that I work, there's hooker there. That's what I'm saying. Hooker is like when Saudi Arabia or something. But it's crazy because my first job as a bartender was at Mint Lounge, which was an Ethiopian round lounge. And this was like 2014 or something. It was so many pretty women with big foreheads. They were pretty women there. Them African women would be having them foreheads. Never met. Yes. That was my first part in the job. And that was the first time I ever even seen hooker. And this was before Atlanta got hip to hooker. Yous only could go to the African spots to get it. So I felt like it was a little more pure than the hooker itself. Shout out to the Africans for bringing that hooker to Atlanta. Yeah, shout out to the A's everywhere now. You ain't even got to be African to have hooker, but yes. Let's do it. So what inspired you to do this or create this outlet? I think it's because I was a bartender all of college. I attended Georgia State University. And that's how I made my money in college. That's how I paid. I was on scholarship. But that's how I paid for my car. My apartment was through bartending. I'm from the East Side of Stone Mountain. So I worked at all the East Side clubs, primetime, obsessions. Primetime? Yes. Mama's primetime. I used to be in that sling of drinks. So it kind of was created from that. Just having such a long history of bartending. But I didn't really like the long hours working until 4 o'clock in the morning and 5 o'clock in the morning sometimes. So I started doing liquor reps for New Amsterdam, Hennessy, and things like that through college. Brand ambassador type work. And I just wanted to start my own business. I personally felt like I created or gathered a certain type of clientele just from being in different working different places in Atlanta. So pulling up and having my own business allowed me access to smaller private parties, which led to bigger parties. And here we are today with bartender. Let me ask you this, as a lady bartender, what's the top five drinks that a man should have at the crib? For a woman or for himself? For a woman. Because the lady's going to show up. Give us five good drinks that a man could keep at the crib. If she likes vodka, a lemon drop. A lemon drop vodka. Write these down. We got confirmation over there. If she likes, everybody likes tequila. So margarita, if you want to add some spice to it, get a flavor. Keep some pineapple there, some mango, strawberry, margarita, that'll keep me at the house longer. She likes brown. I'd probably say old fashioned. I know some women that like old fashioned. Just if they like brown. You mean like a Jack Daniels type? Well, I would probably use like bullet for those fashions. But some of them, some women I know who prefer brown, like it, like with the bitters. Because those women who grew up around their granddaddy drink that Jack Daniels and that Johnny Walker and shit. Yeah, Johnny Walker a little too. Yeah, and I'm country women like liquor with a first and a last name. Well, that may be for the country women. I don't know. I'd say Paloma. Evan Williams and shit. Evan Williams. That very back to college. Makers Mark. Yeah, see, all they look at got two names. We got to get Paloma son. Yeah. Paloma son. That sound like your granddaddy best friend. Paloma, Mr. Paloma son out here. I'd probably say a nice rum punch. You don't even have to be big into liquor to like a rum punch. A lot of the times the rum disguise is disguised in the mix of the juices, so a rum punch. And keep some champagne. A lot of women like Prosecco, like some type of sparkling drink. Yeah, a little orange juice in there. Yeah, a little mimosa. We got some gin. Turn up. She lead at breakfast. Tita won't stop sleeping out. Babe, shut up. Yeah, you already know. This vacation shit, though. This vacation. Well, when I go on vacation, but where can they find you? Where can they look you up and all this type of good stuff? How can they book you? How can they spend money with you? So we have a very detailed website. You can always spend money with us by reaching out to us on barfriending on Instagram. Barfriending, literally barfriend. You got merch, too? We do have merch. All right, bet. Barfriendingmobile.com. Barfriending on Instagram. Barfriending on Facebook. You can reach out. You can find us anywhere. We're really easy to find. And we always want your money. Rob, can you tell you you're going to drink this? Come and have some and give to people. Look, I got my taste tester. You thought I wouldn't go and bring her in. She been an eyeballing her drink the whole time. Yeah. I know. Look, Javier want one, too. Can you make one for Javier? Yes, Javier. I'll make one for you. Give a round of drinks to all my little drinkers on there. I got you. I got you. I got some more. What you say? It's good. You like it? You can't even taste alcohol. OK. Oh, shit. You know what that mean. You ain't going to be towed up when you drink that. As soon as you get brought to the last sip. But honestly, you should. So you'll be sitting down, then you get up and be like, oh, shit. You shouldn't taste alcohol in good drinks. That's why I always tell people who ask for more alcohol. Once you start asking for more, and once you start going over those ingredients, that's when you get too wavy. That's how you leave when we're talking about. A lot of people don't know when they're too wavy. When you got to discuss everything you about to do with yourself before you do it, everybody who ever had a drink know that moment that I'm talking about. When you have to say, in your mind, before you can even verbalize, OK, get up and just get up and stand up. Don't do nothing else. Just make sure you get all the way up and just stand up and we'll take it from there. Then you have to go one, two, three. Stand up and then you have to keep giving yourself directions. See, if you are drinking a drink at a bar-friending event, you won't feel like that. We, like I said, we have a lot of fresh ingredients. So we are hangover-free. Now, if you start coming to the bar asking for shots, asking for more shots in your drink, then maybe. But if we make them, how we make them, we're all about responsible drinking. And that's part of the reason that people hire us. So you will leave your event not feeling fucked up. I think people don't want to do the opposite. I'm telling you, like, well, I hope they don't. So you want to just get them good? No, they could feel great. You could still feel great. But I mean, a part of my job as a bartender is to know when you over your limit. Because I don't want you leaving here, getting the car accident, and then they find out you bought your drink from me. So if you in there, and you like, look, I got a designated driver, I'm straight. Fuck me up. I mean, put the money in a tip jar there. They need a section for people who ain't driving. I bet that'll turn the club back up. You know how the club never fell off a little bit? Yeah. You go to the club, ain't no cars outside. But the club, pat. Thank you for starting doing that. Then we'll probably have less DUIs and less fatalities on the road. Right. Hell, yeah. That's hard. We'll look into that. Yeah. We may need to start that up in Atlanta too. Yeah. I mean, you know, they got a little driving services, but we need some more urban shit where you don't have to do all that. We even got, we got now we have liquor services that bring the liquor to you. Shout out to Quick Lick. Quick Lick. They are back at the Black House. That sounds. Quick Lick. They'll pull up. If you don't want to go to the bar, if you don't want to go out or go to the liquor store to pick it, they'll bring it to you. They're like Uber for liquor. But I feel like as black people, we have a responsibility to even the ones who don't drink it, like, just to keep the black spirit alive. You got to keep a little liquor at the house. You got to. Just a little liquor at the house. You should have. We got to keep that black tradition going. And if you follow a bar friend, then we give them home, like teach you how to be at home bartender. So we give you cocktail recipes, let you know what you, what everybody should have in their home bar. So definitely. Now that's hard. I need to pay attention to that. Yeah. I got a bunch of free liquor at my house. You don't really get to pick. It's just this all this shit was free. That gave me this. Put you something together. I don't have a plan. And you don't even drink liquor. I don't. So you just got it for your guests? Yeah, because I'm a good host. Well, that's good. But are they making a drink? So you making it for them? I definitely am not making you no drink. You got to pour your own trouble. Oh, OK. No, I don't have a bartender at the house. But now that I know we got mobile bartenders. Call me up. Hell yeah. So we'll pull up. I bet. Well, we appreciate you stopping through the black market and much love and success to you and all your future endeavors. Thank you. Thank you all for what you have with me.
