Responsibility Starts With Me - Bartenders
The place was just opening up when we got there, a friendly smile greeted us at the doorway.
“So glad you all could make it!”
We made small talk – he was the master of small talk. A multitasking wizard - cleaning, unloading, and preparing all while briefing us on his day ahead.
“Start with unpacking any bottles, then go into cutting lemons and limes, then read over the specials for the day…”
He made us excited to be there, he made us happy we met him. He’s good at his job: Patrick is a bartender.
We spoke with a handful of bartenders, veteran and new, to hear how responsibility #StartsWithMe behind the bar.
We believe bartenders can be the gatekeepers to a responsible night. Although responsibility always starts with the individual, a bartender can help give you the tools you need to make smart decisions. They want us leaving their establishments safely, they want us to return for more conversations and nights out in the future.
Patrick was just one of the bartenders who, by sharing his day, made us excited to get to know the person behind our bar. Listen to more responses on how each of these bartenders takes their role in your night seriously.
Share with your favorite bartender. Use #StartsWithMe to show us how you feel it starts with YOU to have a responsible night out during April, Alcohol Responsibility Month.
