Extremely experienced high volume bartender seeking a fresh start in a new bar. All bartending positions are in good standing with almost all the bars I have worked for and still get requested to fill in. The exception is the ones that no longer exist. My little one who is 5 years old was diagnosed with cancer and was in treatment, surgery and hospital stays which is why I have a gap in my work had to leave working behind temporarily, but she is now in remission and cancer free and I am ready to get back to normal life (somewhat). Professional Bartender with extensive knowledge of spirits and engages customers one-on-one. Friendly, open and committed to building customer base by providing positive service experience.
