In a recent video, a former bartender recounts a harrowing experience at a gay bar where the use of an "angel shot" potentially saved a life. This covert signal is a discreet way for patrons to alert bartenders when they need help, and in this case, it worked flawlessly.

One night, the bartender noticed a group of men who seemed to be enjoying their time until one of them lingered at the bar and requested an angel shot. Recognizing the cry for help, the bartender swiftly took the man to the safety of the bar’s office. The distressed patron had been out with co-workers and their friends but things took a dark turn when some started to g**** him.

Offering a sanctuary, the bartender let him stay in the back room for as long as needed. The man, visibly shaken, even tried to pay for a burger, but the bar only offered snacks. As time passed, the bartender checked on him again, only to find the man in a worsened state, barely able to speak—clearly drugged.

Acting quickly, the bartender called the police. While the man was rushed to the hospital, the bar was shut down to review security footage. The footage revealed two of the man's companions spiking his drink with a powdery substance. The police arrested the culprits on the spot, while the other two friends, who were not involved, were let go.

This incident underscores the importance of the angel shot as a silent alarm for those in distress. It also emphasizes the vigilance required in nightlife settings to ensure the safety and well-being of all patrons.
