Hey there everypony,
I've been a barpony for most my life and it's allowed me to see this fantastic world of ours; and as a barpony we hear a lot of stories from all over Equestria. This job can often be more about listening than actually serving drinks, and boy am I good at both, while I'm not much of a storyteller myself I feel some of these need to be shared. So bear with me here as I try to recount some of the stories told to me over the years because, honestly, who can remember them all perfectly?
Where are my manners? My name's Bumper and I own a few bars and clubs across Equestria and have worked countless more beforehand. So without delay let's get stuck into a little series I'd like to call The Barpony Tales.
is.... is this based on doug walker aka the nostalgia critic?

Hmm... No it's not at all, I've never seen his work, but I'm curious to know why you'd think so

he did a few skits on cartoon characters visiting a bar where the critic works and the premise is similar to your fic description

Damn, I guess there really is nothing new in this world, should have started publishing my roughs 5 years ago :P Ah well, there's no real presence of the bar expected but it's just a framing device for the loosely/entirely not related stories published together xD
