Some people might believe a bartending job is a walk in the park, to some, they think “is it not just to pour drinks into a cup?” but it goes beyond that.

Great Bartenders have a recipe for more than drinks.

Just like you train to be a chef, professional bartenders learn the art of mixology, pouring, or creating a fresh drink that goes beyond mixing and pouring but creates a haven for customers to enjoy.

Bartenders read the mood and body language of whoever they are serving to know when they either need company or want to be left alone to enjoy their drink. As a service provider, bartenders know how to manage the crowd by deftly concocting drinks, handing out house specialties, douse rising tension among customers, and still being professional while at it.

I’m very proud of what I do and how I do it.
