The Bartenders Serving Your Favorite Drinks

Barkeeps are as old as pubs and taverns. In olden days, they worked under a different name, but they still had the same job. Today, the bartenders reflect the image of the establishments in which they work and influence the atmosphere of their working environment.

A happy bartender makes happy customers, and an unhappy bartender can make unhappy customers. A barman or barmaid not only creates the drinks, as well as serving those sitting at the bar, sometimes they are the entertainment for the bar itself.

T.V. and movies always show bartenders as great listeners. Not all bartenders are like that, but many will give advice, or banter with the customers, or offer directions. Long ago, when bars were smaller, the bartenders had an easier time of getting to know their customers because there were less of them. The bartender was friends with his customers. Like on the old T.V. show Cheers, many older bars had a familiarity to them that is difficult to find today.

When you visit a bar, try to notice the bartenders who are working there. Do they entertain? Do they have a particular flair about them? The bartender, however, may simply do his normal bartending duties, mixing drinks and taking the drink orders.

If you simply are looking for an after work drink or are looking to socialize with your friends, then the type of bartender you have might not matter. However, if you are looking for a truly entertaining experience, then finding a bar with flair bartenders can be a real treat.
