Welcome Back, Welcome Back. Its double trouble week here at No Reservations. We have Savannah AND Katie, two spooky girls who are Queer for King. We get right down to the nitty gritty of moving to NYC, finding a job, and having a gross old man be gross because, respectfully, people suck. We're the only podcast where you can find croutons, M&Ms, and straight nuggs. That's right. Twice the guests. Twice the cocktails. Twice the trauma. But only half the interview (gotta come back next ...

Welcome back to No Reservations! Today, Anna and Ryan have cooked up something special for you all: a new type of episode! We'll be starting a new miniseries, along with your regularly scheduled interview content, where Anna and Ryan watch your favorite service industry movies and review them. And to start things off, we did the one and only Waiting... starring the devilishly handsome Justin Long as Dean, the Ryan-sound-alike Ryan Reynolds as Monty, and the FIERCE Anna Faris as... Eyeshadow? ...

WeLCoMe HoMe! <- That was a joke for a very specific set of listeners, but the rest of this episode is for everyone. Where else can you find a server, bartender, student, teacher, librarian, bingo caller, piano player at a German restaurant, but this week, with our friend, Patrick!! Join us on this journey as we explore Milwaukee, the Milwaukee of Queens (Astoria), and everything in between. Bar games, skinny girl cocktails, and Bloody Marys on white fur coats abound! Grab your fake I...

And just like that, we're back with a new episode of No Reservations covering Sex, The City, AND everything in between. We've got our good friend Hannah who enjoys steamy romance novels, challenging dude-bros' masculinities, and NOT wearing costumes. From sounding, soaking, and shots in your mouth (thats the sex part) to regulars and industry lifers (thats the city part) we really have got it all. So grab the Dan who's got a special place in your heart, shake up a cosmo or two, and...

Welcome back to No Res... After Dark. (We ask you to take a sip of your drink every time we say "After Dark" and refill when you hear the Episode Title.) You can't rush perfection, and this podcast took two weeks to drop because we've got our good buddy Aaron who is just as fast a talker as we are and like Bond, takes his Vesper shaken, not stirred. Be warned, this was a late night recording for a late night crowd, so buckle into your Vespa's and get ready for a wild ride through Vampire Cock...

I'm so sorry for the wait, your server was in the bathroom. We pee too, people. But we're back with another fantastic episode of No Reservations! This week, Anna and Ryan had the pleasure of welcoming Ross onto the podcast. And what better way to welcome Ross than with a hearty discussion about the joys of pooping? Consider this your trigger warning. In this episode, we talk about the differences between serving in corporate vs Mom & Pop settings, how douchy LoveSac is, why you're an assh...

INT. LIVING ROOM - NIGHT. No Reservations is back with our friend Louie who is here to be the brown-haired, white boy we've all been waiting for. Speaking of "Waiting", we're "Still Waiting" for a sequel. But until then we've got a fun episode in store with a little bit of everything including weird wall art, unironically laying pipe, a revisit to last weeks Buffalo sauce discussion, Strict Taco Tuesday Rules, and a little bit of MAGIC! So pick a beer, any beer. And on that note... BLACK...

Astoria Slaps! Need we say more? Yeah. You're right. We probably should. This week we have one of our dearest friends Rebecca (born, raised, and now running a bar in Astoria) here to provide some much needed Quality Assurance. After consulting with our lawyers, we don't think the Bourdain Estate or the 2007 Cathrine Zeta-Jones movie will be coming for us, so let's jump in shall we? This episode is jam packed with planning parties, discussing cake trauma, and exposing Buffalo Wild Wings. ...

All aboard for another episode of No Reservations. This week we have our co-worker and good friend Josh who's journey though the industry was everything Anthony Bourdain told him it would be and a lot of things he forgot to mention. We're making all local stops including Dr. Seuss, Dad Jokes, Bad Management, Poland, and Ineffective Aphrodisiacs. So pour yourself a white, off-white, ceramic, or ivory Negroni, and find out where IS Josh's super-suit? Enjoy!

"Hi Listener. I'm Dad." Strap in friends. This week we've got our friend Matt (the third to grace the No Res Pod) and this one is for the Dad's. With dad jokes, tennis stars, and brewery stories galore it's gonna leave you with a satisfying mouthfeel. Don't understand what we mean? Well tune in and you might just learn a few things, including cleaning tips, the coolest bathroom in Chicago, and the taco bell-iest bar in NYC. Pour one Boulevardier out for the short kings and enjoy this weeks No...

If you're still with us, we're back with our dear friend Kyle. This week we pick right up where we left off and bring you Dumb Questions, Two Reviews and A Lie, a submission to the Oxford Dictionary, Comfort Movies, and (most importantly) the humble Bloop. We spread a little love for one brewery -shoutout to KCBC- and spill a little tea on some others. So crack open a cold beer and enjoy No Reservations.

After a brief Covid induced hiatus, No Res is BACK! And this week we have our dear friend Kyle joining us to talk all things Brewery number 1, 2, 3 , 4, 5, you get the point. From "take one, bake one," to just getting baked (or otherwise under the influence), come with us on a wild journey starting in the kitchen and ending up in management (but also sometimes the kitchen?). Along the way we promise dinosaurs, gas leaks, and some pulp. So pour yourself a Highland Laker, a fitting cocktai...

SURPRISE!! Mel is back and they've only just begun to dive into wild restaurant stories and hot button topics like. "Do drinks have a gender?," "Does your bartender want to fuck you?" "Does Anna know The Star Spangled Banner?" "Is that Jane Fonda?" The answers to all of these questions (No. No. No. Maybe...) AND MORE! Strap in because we've had multiple drinks, we're bringing surprise guests back, and shooting our shot. Grab a Blackberry Gin Smash, courtesy of InBooze (@inboozekits on instagr...

It's Thursday, which means a new episode of No Reservation! We're here for you and promise we won't ghost you like our fabulous guest Mel's job once did. From humble southern-ish beginnings to moving to New York, this episode is chock full of all kinds of awkward bathroom stories from getting walked in on to not making it there in time. We promise one story about grasping a nipple and too many Lady Gaga references to count, But this isn't her podcast. It's Mel's! So grab a Mezcal Negroni...

You've heard of the phrase "good things come in small packages." Well, our guest on No Reservations today is pretty much the embodiment of that phrase. Our friend Kelly has held a plethora of customer facing positions in the service industry, from working in a hotel to serving in a country club, and eventually, working her way up from server assistant to waiter at a well known BBQ spot in NYC. Now, Ryan and Anna are lucky enough to work with her at the brewery, and even luckier to be ab...

We're Back and ready to offer you a first class ticket to the New York Experience with our good pal and co-worker Declan. We also have Nellie, who will make her presence known. Don't you worry. We dish (get it) on being friendly with the back of house, working outside, and what kind of hat we might be. And we will absolutely with out a doubt answer the burning question, "What's is Declan's carry-on?" ... Maybe. From breaking glassware to ripping up Benjamins, it's about to get DRAMATIC. So fa...

Welcome back to the Failed Babysitters Club where this week we talk to our good friend Alison about the dangers of bikes, chocolate chip pancakes, and the Elmo/Rocco feud. Is it a podcast for toddlers or drunk adults, and is there really a difference? Everybody makes mistakes (Sbagliatos). Everybody has those days (10 in quarantine). NOBODY knows what, what we're talkin' bout. Everybody gets that way. So sit back and enjoy this weeks No Reservations. FOLLOW US on Instagram @norespod and make ...

Happy New Year, trash babies! So happy to be bringing in the new year with a PHENOMENAL guest, Kacie Parker. This lovely lady from Louisiana brightens our lives every day at "the brewery," so we can't wait for YOU to be regaled as we talk about what it's like to work at a Texas Roadhouse, how to order a drink at a venue, how to deal with a crying bar patron, and much more! Cuddle up with a Sloe Gin Fizz; it's chilly out there, but this episode is as HOT as our guest. We're bringing big blonde...

Welcome back, friends! This week, Anna and Ryan are joined by their coworker Max, a man whose job experience is rich and varied. From working at a Hollister, to becoming a barista at a juice shop, to being a member of the Blue Man Group, to bartending at a taco joint, Max is truly a Renaissance Man and it was an absolute pleasure having him in the studio. And by studio, of course, I mean Ryan's living room. How do you like your tea? I like mine mishandled. Follow us on Instagram ...

This week we are joined by Jonathan who is a friend first and manager second, as is made apparent by the ease in which he says c*ck in our presence. We cover it all from hot celebrity (guess who) gossip to an honest look at the less than perfect world of bars and restaurants. It's a Well Balanced Podcast™ with equal parts serious, salacious, and silly. So sit back and enjoy a non-alcoholic apéritif or a political potable if you need something with more bite.
