I am a bartender with 8 years of professional experience. I have worked in both small neighborhood bars in Colorado, and busy bars in downtown Chicago. Additionally, I have worked private events ranging from 8 to 500 people (although I wasn't sole bartender for the really big ones!). I love bartending, and I love making people happy!

You will get a bartender who is great at engaging her guests! My regulars have always loved my sense of humor and encyclopedic knowledge of trivia (hey, people like trivia when they drink!). I know when to talk, and more importantly when to listen. I am not a "flair" bartender, but I still know how to make it fun!
I am a native Coloradan and graduate of Metro who loves her home state and really enjoys making an event fun and memorable! When you hire me, you get an experienced bartender who will want as much info as possible so I can tailor my services to your needs. I'm very knowledgeable about cocktails, and I am an enthusiast about craft gin. I have 20 years of cash-handling experience and bar and restaurant management - I have worked in big chains and mom-and-pop shops, and I have worked a variety of freelance events. I have some of my own bartending equipment, and can produce TIPS certification if needed. I also have friends who are experienced certified bartenders, so if you need a couple of us, let me know if you would like a lead and I can help you save a little work. I look forward to helping you have the event you want!
All I need is alcohol, mixers, fruit, and glassware! If I am handling cash, I will of course need a starting bank to make change from. That's about it!
One small note - while I can provide TIPS certification, there has been confusion from some clients about insurance prior to this, so to clarify: liquor liability insurance is NOT the responsibility of the bartender. That type of insurance is provided by the venue. By law, as your bartender, I already assume legal responsibility for the safety of those that I serve, and liability coverage beyond that is venue responsibility. Any rented venue that allows alcohol to be served should already have this coverage.

I first learned my craft from bartenders who had been working far longer than I had been alive, at an ex-speakeasy in Denver. Through the years, I have been privileged to work with other bartenders who all had something for me to learn!
