June pour house

Name: Shelly Elks

Age: 26

School: ECU

You know her as: a bar manager at Lucky's, usually behind the bar. Or, the loud one.

Career aspiration: Was studying therapy and social work but now looking more at business.

Do you dance on the bar? Just started learning the dances.

Which dance is your favorite? “Candyman” is my favorite to watch because it's newer and the girls really get into it. We're working on teaching everyone “Devil Went Down to Georgia.”

What is your favorite drink to make and why? Shelly's Kiss (a fruity martini with coconut rum, Armaretto, peach Schnapps, cranberry and pineapple). Typically everyone likes and drinks it.

What is the best part about working at Lucky's? The constant interaction with people. You're doing the same thing every day, but you're doing something different.

The first day of summer is June 21. Are you looking forward to the season and why? Yes, but any place in Greenville hurts (business-wise). You have to depend on your locals.

Why should people come and see you at Lucky's? I think we have a really energetic and cute staff. We're always updating and adding to the dances. And we have live music … and our girls are cute and they dance on the bar.
