He also pours drinks at The ’Dad Lounge in Trinidad.
opened [in Trinidad] before Sexy Pizza, so I thought working the door was just going to be now and then,” says Lund of his bar, a restoration project headed up by Curt Wallach and Suzanne Magnuson, who also co-own Denver’s proudly punk hi-dive. As musicians, Wallach and Magnuson understood the premium on flexibility for an artist and offered Lund shifts that worked with unpredictable gigs.
It came to a head after day drinking for an early Broncos game at Prohibition, blacking out after bottomless mimosas another comic left behind, then barely waking up in time to co-host his regular announcing gig at Lucha Libre and Laughs with fellow Fine Gentleman’s Club member Sam Tallent. “I needed him to fill,” Lund recalls. “My brain wasn’t working good.” Instead of sleeping it off, he went to see his buddy Bobby Crane behind the bar at the Squire.
After shows in Denver, Lund would pour himself into a booth at the PS Lounge, a classic hole-in-the-wall frequented by fellow comic Kevin O’Brien. “I haven’t been here in probably ten years,” Lund says as a wave of nostalgia passes over a smile. Tonight, our bartender, Lacey, approaches our booth and silently sets down two shot glasses of orange liquid, then reminds us that the bar is cash-only.
As much as I interview service-industry lifers, I forget that for some, bartending is simply a means to an end. Comedy has mostly returned. Earlier in the night, Lund asked a crowd of twenty-or-so folks at Ratio Beerworks, “Is anyone else in here sober, just hanging out?” A young smartass raised his glass filled with a random, cloudy yellow IPA, then lost his courage and quickly confessed it’s actual beer.
