Bill Murray Will Work as a Bartender in Brooklyn This Weekend
Bill Murray is unpredictable, which is part of why we love him. No one ever knows when he’ll go over and steal fries from a stranger, karaoke with strangers, or photobomb — you guessed it — a couple of people he doesn’t know at all.
This week is different. It’s been announced that the Ghostbusters star will be tending bar this Friday and Saturday (Sept. 16 and 17) beginning at 7 p.m. at his son Homer’s new Brooklyn, N.Y., watering hole 21 Greenpoint.
Initially, the events were going to be private affairs, but the New York Daily News reported Thursday that has changed. A manager told the newspaper the phone hadn’t stopped ringing with people wanting to attend the grand opening. (They obviously heard about Bill’s fine work behind the bar during SXSW in 2010.)
“Fans are calling from five hours away saying they want to see him,” the 21 Greenpoint manager told the newspaper. “We’re not turning people away. People who have been invited are definitely getting in, and then we’ll do our best to accommodate any fans.”
Homer confirmed that people don’t need to be on any special list for the soiree. “People can walk in; just be nice,” he advised, promising that his dad is sure to serve up a good time. “What my dad lacks in experience, he makes up for in tequila.”
And all this time we thought he was a whisky guy.
