What would your favorite bar be like without your favorite bartender? You can't have Cheers without Woody, Sam, Carla or Rebecca, and you certainly can't have your local watering-hole without those special drink fillers. Knowing this, we've decided to feature a different local bartender each week and share who they are with you.  

So, grab your glass, fill it up, and let's toast this week's bartender of choice:
