Flair Bartending
Flair bartending is the art of entertaining customers through
flipping and spinning bottles, tins, glassware, garnishes and napkins.
The “Coyote Ugly” movie and the many flair competitions held around the
world and on T.V., have sparked a huge interest in the “Art of Flair”.
Flipping bottles, juggling, bar tricks, and much more bring lots of
excitement to bartending and increases the tips that a bartender
receives.
Levels of flair start at the basic "working flair" which is considered
tricks and moves that can safely be done behind a bar with other
bartenders and customers present.
Intermediate and advanced levels of flair are best suited for nightclubs
where the main bar has plenty of room and can resemble a stage to show
off the bartender's talents.
Flair bartending contests are held all across the world with the two
premier events being the the "Quest for the Best Bartender in the World"
held yearly in Orlando and the "Legends of Bartending" held yearly in
Las Vegas.
To learn flair first requires that you have the proper equipment such as
the plastic, unbreakable practice bottles by Flairco, and properly
weighted mixing tins, available online at our store by clicking on the
links to the left or on our Bar Store menu above.
In addition to bottles and tins, the flair bartender should purchase a
couple of Training Flair DVD's by recognized experts such as Ken Hall,
Dean Serneels or Christian Depech. We have the largest selection of
Flair DVD's, bottles and tins at our online bar store at deeply
discounted-prices.
