Can I have one more of these with some booze in it, please?
Wildly popular movie star Bill Murray tended bar at his son’s new restaurant in Greenpoint on Friday and Saturday nights, dancing and drinking behind the counter while pouring out shots for guests at the private event.
News of the “Space Jam” actor’s stint had spread as far as India and Australia, and fans crowded outside the new Greenpoint Avenue eatery for hours on both nights, mobbing the thespian as he arrived. And the scene was no less wild inside, as invited guests squeezed in to score photos, videos, and drinks from Murray.
The voice of “Garfield: A Tail of Two Kitties” was reportedly in very fine spirits during his Friday shift, singing and toasting his son Homer for making over his former restaurant River Styx into the newly upscale 21 Greenpoint — but Murray appeared subdued on his second gig the following night, working slowly and seriously and having to admonish revelers for camping out too long on the much coveted bar stools.
