Imagine this:

It’s a Tuesday night in Athens and there’s a packed crowd barking the Georgia Bulldogs chant as Kendall Jenner pours up tequila shots behind the bar.

Wait, that actually happened?

It’s true. Last week, the supermodel and “Keeping up with the Kardashians” star visited Athens, Georgia, to tend bar and sign liquor bottles.

The stop was to promote her tequila brand, 818 Tequila.

Jenner’s first stop on Tuesday, Feb. 6, was at Athens Bottle Shop, where she signed 818 Tequila bottles for fans and gave out brand merchandise.

After that, Jenner, wearing a red UGA sweatshirt, went to Paloma Park restaurant to serve as a guest bartender for a “Tuesday Takeover” event, which attracted hundreds of star-struck fans.

The restaurant had $6 palomas and margaritas with none other than Jenner’s 818 brand being the main ingredient and according to Nava Rawls at “The Red and Black,” Paloma Park hit maximum capacity that night.

No surprise there.

Jenner ended the night at the 1785 Bar and Grill, where she continued to bar tend and serve shots all night long.

In a TikTok video, Jenner is even seen “calling the dawgs” as a loud roll of barks rumbled through the crowd of Bulldog fans.

“The fact that we were barking in Kendall Jenner’s face. Legendary,” commented Clarence on TikTok.

Jenner also visited the University of Alabama earlier that day and has more stops planned to promote 818 Tequila.
