When Shannon Pollzzie took the job as Bartender at the Nines Restaurant in Greystone Country Club she had no idea what she was getting into. “My son worked here as a Cart Kid and he found out there was an opening in the bar so I came up and applied.” Said Pollzzie. Although she had no experiencing working in a bar she learned quickly that it isn’t as easy as it looks at times.
Pollzzie notes, although it is important to have a pleasant personality, there are other things just as important to know like, making sure the stock is efficient and knowing what the customers like to drink.
“It is also important to know the difference between a single and a double shot.” Said Pollzzie.
Greystone Country Club and Golfing Community has a reputation for being one of the most prestigious golf courses in Arkansas. And their restaurant serves up some of the best food and drinks in town.
Pollzzie insists that is because they have a great cook in the kitchen and know how to prepare for their customers. “We make sure we have everything in place before we start the day.” She said.
The restaurant is open Tuesday through Sunday serving lunch and dinner everyday and on most Sundays, Brunch is served.
Pollzzie notes, she has fun meeting the different people who come into the The Nines restaurant and bar after a morning or afternoon of golf.
“Some days we get a good crowd of people in. And on other days we only see ten faces. But it’s always fun whether there is a big crowd or a handful of people.” She said.
Every year the Club hosts a Costume Party on Halloween with food drinks and live entertainment. The Club also host a New Years party every year.
