National Bartender Day is celebrated on the first Friday of December each year. It was founded in 2011 by Sailor Jerry Rum to honour the hard-working bartenders who make our favourite drinks and create a welcoming atmosphere for us to enjoy.

Bartenders have a long and rich history. The first bartenders were likely innkeepers who served drinks to their guests. In the 18th century, bartenders began to specialise in mixing drinks and creating cocktails. One of the most famous bartenders of this era was Jerry Thomas, who is known as the "father of American mixology."

Today, bartenders play an important role in our society. They are not only responsible for making delicious drinks, but they also provide a listening ear and a friendly face to their customers. Bartenders can also be a valuable resource for information about local events and activities.

There are many ways to celebrate National Bartender Day. Here are a few ideas:

  • Go to your favourite bar and order a drink from your favourite bartender. Be sure to tip them generously!

  • Give your bartender a small gift, such as a bottle of their favourite liquor or a gift certificate to a local restaurant.

  • Write a review of your favourite bar on social media and give your bartender a shoutout.

  • Throw a party at your home and invite all of your friends and family. Hire a bartender to serve drinks and make cocktails.

  • Take a bartending class and learn how to make your own drinks.

However you choose to celebrate, National Bartender Day is a great opportunity to show your appreciation for the hardworking bartenders who make our lives a little bit more enjoyable.
