Bartending Sites
If you are a bartender, or just wanting to play one on T.V., then here are some websites that might contain some useful information for you.

	A Best Kitchen Restaurant, Kitchen, and Bar Supplies For over 10 years, ABest Kitchen Company has been providing commercial quality supplies to restaurants, bars, and food service operations throughout Ohio, the mid-west, the U.S.A, and beyond.
	Bar Media Robert Plotkin's Bar Management Robert Plotkin has written several very successfull book devoted to helping bartenders and beverage managers better understand their business. Through this site he provides you with access to not only these books, but also to a wealth of information, news, reviews, and recipes that continue on this same theme.
	Central Restaurant Products A restaurant and supply company located in Indianapolis Central Restaurant Products has been in business since 1981, serving the Indianapolis area with high quality products at the best possible prices.
	Cocktail : UK Cocktail : UK, classic cocktail recipes and bar equipment made easy An extensive site full of recipes, information, equiptment, and information about bartending.
	Dale Degroff's Cocktail Corner Dale Degroff provides his own insights on cocktails and bartending In addition to running his own site, "King Cocktail", Dale Degroff also has a section on www.BevAccess.com where he provides regular cocktail recipes and bartending information. Dale is argueably one of the best bartenders in the US, and so it's always a welcome sight to see more information from him getting out.
	Extreme Bartending Specializing in training bartenders in Performance Bartending Thankfully, they don't appear to refer to it as "Flair Bartending", but the folks at Extreme Bartending do present a focus on the art of providing an entertaining performance as part of the bartending experience. In addition to training seminars, they also hire themselves out for events, trade shows, parties, etc. Looks like a lot of fun... wonder how good their drinks are.
	FBSK Finland's Bartender's and Supporter's Club I think it would be a safe bet that this site is the on-line presence of a bartenders group from Finland, but since I don't speak Finnish, it's a little hard for me to say more then that.
	F. H. Steinbart One of the oldest Wine & Beer supply houses in the country. I was trying to locate an authentic English pub style "Beer Engine" for my home bar, and this was the company that a local brewery suggested. The organization of their on-line catalog has a ways to go, but at least it is a start. I'm glad to see companies like this making such an attempt.
	Happy Hours While not fully up yet, you can still register to receive a semi-regular newsletter. All you can do at this site at the moment is sign up for receiving a semi-regular news letter that they send out in e-mail. While it might be a little suprising that I'd include a link for a site that is still "under construction", the newsletter alone makes this a valueable site to visit at least once.
	IBA The International Bartenders Association With such an impressive name, these guys have got to be important. Their site needs some help from a design standpoint, but they do have some interesting information on it. One of the pages that I found extremely interesting, was their list of "Official" cocktails. You can get to it at http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/fbsk/offiba.html
	King Cocktail Dale DeGroff provides and excellent example of Classic American Bartending. Having bartended all over New York for many years, Dale DeGroff has honed his mixology talents to a fine edge, and on his site he shares with you a few of his insights, and recipes, on cocktails. He also has put together a very good bar kit to help you get started making cocktails at home.
	Miss Charming Miss Charming's site presents an energetic and creative collection of information and resources Cheryl Charming is not only the author of "Miss Charming's Book of Bar Amusements" (plus several more related titles on the way), but has also designed a website in which she provides very useful information and resources to both budding and experienced bartenders throughout the world. You'll always find an answer to some question that you never even knew you were asking when you browse around through her pages.
	The Museum of the American Cocktail The nations first museum dedicated to educating the general public in the historical significance of the cocktail in America. In January 2005, The Museum Of The American Cocktail opened up it's first exhibit in New Orleans to a large and receptive crowd. The exhibit is currently housed within the popular "New Orleans Pharmacy Museum", located at 514 Chartres St. just a couple blocks off of Bourbon Street in the French Quarter. If you are planning a visit to New Orleans at any time in the near future, I highly recommend that you stop by the Pharmacy Museum and check out this facinating display of cocktail history and antiquity.
	Bartender's School of Santa Rosa Bartending schools are a dime a dozen, this one is the diamond in the rough It's not often that I provide a recommendation for a bartending school. John Burton is a friend of mine, and I know that he has the background and experience to provide his students with true insights into what cocktails can be... if you have the determination to meet the challenge. John also has an amazingly large collection of cocktail and bartending books, and has posted a comprehensive listing of the books in his library on his site.
	SaskyCom A site chock full of reference information related to spirits, liqueurs, wines, and beer. This site appears to contain a fairly extensive amount of reference material relating to various types of spirits, wines, beers, as well as bartending information for the home or professionsl bartender.
	Shaker Bartending A U.K. based company that specializes in training, consulting, and flair With a variety of courses and offerings targeted at bartenders or bar owners, these guys appear to be trying to deliver the goods on helping their fellow bartenders improve their skill. Now if only they'd learn how to be a little more judicious in the design work on their site...
	Spitzy User submitted cocktails, and message forum I'm not quite sure how the name "Spitzy" fits in here, and something tells me I don't want to know... This site contains a growing collection of cocktails, and includes reporting indicators to let you know which are the best rated, as well as most often viewed. There is also a message forum for discussing a wide variety of topics related to drinking almost any kind of beverage.
	USBG The United States Bartenders Guild This is a brand new web-site for the United States Bartenders Guild. This is the U.S. branch of the I.B.A., and they are headquartered out of California.
