What is flair bartending?

Flair bartending is cocktail making as a performance. Bartenders spin, flip and juggle bottles, shakers and tins while pouring real drinks, with routines that range from smooth and stylish to full showpieces.

Flair bartenders can run a cocktail bar for the evening, perform a short showcase set, or host a cocktail masterclass where guests make their own drinks. It suits drinks receptions, Gatsby nights, launches for drinks brands and team events.
