Maxx's Last Shift: A Playlist
On Monday night, one of our favorite people, Maxx Stoyanoff-Williams (of The Goats, Black Landlord, The Opposite Ends) turned in the last shift of a very, very long run at The Standard Tap. And it's quite a thing to behold, when a truly beloved bartender throws in the towel at one place, whether he's moving onto another or quitting the business entirely. Maxx's shift on Monday was a textbook example: The bar went three deep all night (on a Monday, mind you), people made cardboard Maxx masks, the regulars sang to him, and all night long, the above playlist, handpicked by the man himself, fully blared. Any bartender would have been proud.
