there is no such thing as best bartender. we serve the community. so long as we love what we do and do our best we are all the best bartender. its humbling and flattering to be named something as the best. its also realistic to say that it doesnt matter who get the most votes...its the customer who makes our lives possible and how we treat them that matters. on any given day every bartender is the best bartender...so long as they try to be.
