Bartender's Favourite

Bartending/Mixologist 

A bartender also known as a barkeep, barman, barmaid, bar chef, mixologist, alcohol server, or a alcohol chef.

Its one of the best jobs in the world according to me, the life of a bartender is always full of adventure, meeting new people, making friends and making sure that nobody leaves the place without a smile.

Its a bartenders job to make sure that he/she never lets down a guest, who is come in at the bar with all high hopes that they would have a great time and enjoy their night with a classic cocktails or something special from  the bartender. 

Life is all about having the best memories, so that someday you could just sit down and take a walk down your memory lane and say "Damn the time i had was awesome" and that's what bartenders are here for.
