The 1988 Tom Cruise movie "Cocktail" spawned a global epidemic of bartenders who try to impress patrons by spinning bottles of rum behind their backs and having sex with actress Elisabeth Shue underneath Caribbean waterfalls. Yet even though Cruise went cuckoo, charismatic, tricks-performing bartenders remain in fashion. Bar Maniac in Hollywood affords bartenders the ideal setting for showing off their skills. The bar is wide and long, with seating for dozens of thirsty patrons looking to order drinks that are spun and twirled instead of shaken. While it can be amazing to watch the bartenders’ gravity-defying acrobatics, if your no-fun ass doesn’t want your Guinness to be set on fire, all you have to do is ask.
