The lives and loves of four long-suffering cocktail waitresses are explored. Graduate Carol, single mum Adele, ambitious Nicky and bolshy Mel take everyone on a hilarious heart-warming journey through their lives - from the beers and leers of their unHappy Hour shifts to their secret hopes and dreams. They might be underpaid and overworked, but with a twist of wit and a splash of humour, these Shakers girls can handle the most colourful of characters!
