World Bartender Day
Bartender and two patrons at the Toll Gate Saloon, Black Hawk, Colorado
1897
The bartenders or bartenders know how to combine drinks to make cocktails, they know the flavors of different alcohols and their graduations. They know how to prepare different kinds of specialty coffees and they know all kinds of details of how a bar works. In general, a bartender knows and masters behavioral protocols and in upscale venues he uses exquisite manners in dealing with customers. In tourist areas they can speak more than one language or even several. A bartender has at least one assistant in charge. A bartender has a cocktail book and cocktail equipment at her workplace. A bartender may be acting according to subtle indications from the client towards her companion and act credibly even if the client has been absent from the premises for a long time.

The End
I remember back in Detroit, I used to go to the Apex Bar every night after I got off work. The bartender there used to call me Boom Boom. I don't know why, but he did.
