**These g*atekeepers* to the community** provide an important role both befriending and signposting new arrivals. Over the coming months we will be finding out a little more about them and what makes them tick.

**Where do you originally come from?**

I was born in Isleworth, West London and lived in Bedford where I went to school. After school I went straight into catering gaining a lot of experience in bars and restaurants over the years, so when I decided to move to Brighton I knew I wouldn’t have trouble getting a job down here

**What brought you to Brighton?**

After spending a weekend down here I fell in love with place. It’s atmosphere and the vibrant social scene. I’ve been here for about 16 years now

**Oddest thing you’ve been asked for?** 

Erm…. Asked where the nearest men’s sauna is.

**What’s the worst kind of punter?** 

Those who ask me to name what gins we offer… then after all that ask for a pint of bitter

What do you do when it’s quiet in the bar?

Clean..restock the bar…put tunes on the jukebox to keep me going and of course, check my makeup

**Do you know the difference between Ale and Beer?** 

Yes of course..next question

**Can you pull a pint?**

I would hope so being here so long at Bar Revenge

Prefer to be shaken or stirred?

Shaken as long as I’m wearing my sports bra

Whats your favourite tipple?

JD and coke with lots of ice

**What makes you roll your eyes?**

Lou knows me when customers try to get guest list for club

**What makes for a perfect bar girl?**

Patience, energy, a sense of humour is a must… Being organised and ready because you never know what’s gonna happen when you open them front doors

Where do you like to go out when you’re not working? 

Out for dinner. Maybe a gig in Brighton, walks on the beach with my partner and our dog **Meryl** and spending time with friends

**Tell us a secret about yourself?** 

I used to play for the original Chelsea ladies football team for about 8 years when I lived back home

**What’s your nickname behind the bar?**

Loubag …that’s all!

**Trousers or skirt?**

Trousers …I haven’t shaved my legs this week…now the weather is getting better I will

You prefer Butch or femme? 

Tomboy
