Your A-List: Best Bartenders
Some people go to clubs for music, some for atmosphere, some for the drink menu, but almost anybody will tell you that a bad experience with a bar staff will keep them away from a place. The Red Fez on Fifth Street definitely has the first three bases covered, and from the votes in this week’s poll, they also have the last one covered, as well, as it received 38 percent of the vote in the best bartenders poll.
The small bar that bumps has an Arabian nights feel, and in addition to hookahs, the bartenders, who keep up with the often frantic pace of the booze-fueled crowd, also serve up tasty drinks such as habanero martinis and caipirinhas. Not quite Middle Eastern cocktails, but they do the trick.
