Denver has some of the hardest working industry people in the world. From waiters and hostesses, to bartenders and more. A day off is an absolute luxury to some of these people. Luckily for them Red Bull treated a few lucky individuals to an all out amazing day off at Winter Park Resort. All Aboard consisted of an all expenses day on the slopes including a ride on the Winter Park Express to and from the resort. An all out day on the slopes with complimentary lunch and finally a post ski/snowboard Apres party with even more food and delicious cocktails to end their epic day. A perfect way to reward some of the city’s hardest working industry folks.

One of the those lucky ones chosen was Adam Perkowski who is the bar manager at Temple Nightclub. We had a chance to catch up with Adam for a Q&A before he hit the slopes.

What’s your name and where are you from?

My name is Adam Perkowski and I Am from Denver, CO.

How long have you been bartending?

I’ve been bartending 7 years but currently I’ve been the bar manager of Temple Nightclub for the last 3 years.

What’s the funnest aspect of your job?

The funnest part of my job is the people. I love working in a place that brings all sorts of people together to have a fun night of dancing, letting go, and escaping reality for a little. Not to mention the music is fire.

What advice would you give to somebody starting off or wanting to become a bartender?

As far as advice I’d give anyone on doing anything is to really want it and show up with a positive attitude. Anyone can teach you a job, but no one can teach you the way you apply yourself to it.

What’s the craziest story you have encountered as a bartender?

Oh man this is a good one. I’ve seen an 85 year old woman take a body shot off of a hot bro for her birthday. I’ve seen someone sign their marriage certificate on our bar because that’s where they met. I’ve seen someone slowly roller skate towards a garage door to catch their balance only to face plant. The stories never stop and they’re usually full of fun and laughs.

What are looking forward to today?

Today I’m most looking forward to spending the day with a bunch of fam from the industry, having a fun day off together, getting to know each other better, and being a rowdy a** mess together. Thank you Red Bull for creating a fun event for all of us!
