New York's Best Bartender 2015: Crown Heights & Prospect Heights

Been a bartender for: 12 years

Signature drink: The Christina Hendricks

The best thing about being a bartender is: The ability to connect with people, share in their celebrations and create a community.

Been a bartender for: 21 years

Signature drink: Piece of Ass

The best thing about being a bartender is: I love talking with cool people, the lonely or confused helping them escape from life. The beaten down PAs or entitled assholes can go to AppleBees (I dont love them).

Been a bartender for: 5 years

Signature drink: Maiden Voyage. It's inspired by Tiki, a style of cocktail in which multiple spirits, sweetners and sours are utilized in a drink.

The best thing about being a bartender is: I get to wear my Southern hospitality on my sleeve. Each shift, I work to create a fun and welcoming atmosphere at my bar. It's the best to see my guests relax, laugh, make friends, and have an enjoyable if not memorable experience.

Been a bartender for: 5 years

Signature drink: Spicy Watermelon Margarita

The best thing about being a bartender is: Being able to listen to patrons and learn what spirits move them. The ability to engage on a stage with no script, no rehersal and on the spot auditioning for that next new flavor and for the next person to say, "Wow that's it."
