Our Favorite Bartenders: Tyler

Our latest installment in our occasional series, Our Favorite Bartenders is Tyler at the Gecko Gazebo.

If Tyler is behind the bar when you’re at Mongoose Junction, stop and say hello. You’re in for a treat. And order an “Iguana in the Blender” while you’re there. Watch Tyler make one, below!

    Oh, that Tyler. We spent a rainy Sunday PM with him yesterday. After a few Tyler drinks, we were certainly Tylersized. The main reason we go to town is cuz we love him so much.

    We have many really good bartenders but Tyler is, well, Tyler. Yep, he’s got our vote.

    We were just telling our friends about Tyler last night, great bartender and he was a great neighbor too. I see Ken quietly sitting in the background! Hey Neighbors!

    I posted on the VI forum this link……Tyler and Kenny at Quiet Mon are by far the most fun……
    I just love Tyler too bad he was not dressed at Dolly Parton……does a real good impersonation……..

    Yay Tyler and whatnot, but if you want to be in his good graces, don’t order a blended drink. I’m just warning you for your own good (and his…I look out for my nutty neighbor and friend).

    Was that a gummy iguana garnish? or some other kind of candy iguana? I might need to find some of those for my own bar set up!

    It is just a plastic gecko that they garnish most frozen drinks with. Hi Dom. Thanks for the shout-out.

    We met Tyler last November but at Cafe Roma. We sat at the bar to eat. Great guy!!! Didn’t even notice Kenn at first in the background. Kenn, we are the couple that always stay at Gallow’s Point, we mentioned to you that we met Tyler last trip if that jogs your memory (The Lizak’s). See you guys in May!

    There was a guy who was painted, from head to toe (in the nude), as a tiger for Halloween a few years ago. Was that Tyler?

    I was painted as Tigger, but I wasn’t totally nude; I was wearing a loincloth thong. Thanks for remembering and thanks for all the great comments. Smoochies to everybody. -Ty

    Tyler’s just one of the reasons we LOVE Cafe Roma. We’ve haven’t done any hanging out at the Gecko Gazebo but maybe we’ll look him up in a couple of weeks when we’re there. Smoochies back at ya’, Tyler.

    Anyone who rocks out to “So What” by Pink like I do is OK in my book. Never been to the bar though. It’s on the list now.

    Those of us who are rockstars and have our rock moves need to band together.

    My husband, my friend and I spent one very fun, very drunk night with Tyler at the Gecko over 5 years ago. Tyler, are you still making that coffee table book? ;-) My husband and best friend were subjects for that book!

    For the record, Barbie hired him….! And what a FABULOUS catch for the Gecko Bar! Don’t miss the Tylershow appearing Saturdays and Sunday during the day, and at other random times. Take advantage of our special offer: Order Twelve Iguanas in the Blender and get one free. You’ll probably get one free witty comment at least!

    Everyone Loves the Tyler show….especially those of us who are there every now and then :-)

    I love how you were rocking it out to Pink while Kenn and Alice were in full-on scrabble mode. Kenn is pretty good at Tuning you out!

    Can’t wait to see you this Sunday to order as many blender drinks as I can!!

    XOXO – Heidi
