About FBA |

In early 1997, the Flair Bartenders' Network (FBN) was created to connect performance bartenders from around the world. The hope was to help spread the word about the 800 various competitions throughout the world, many of them being either local events or regional qualifiers of major national and international competitions.
Because of the rapid growth of this new freestyle performance sport in the past five years, the FBN quickly evolved into a worldwide membership association in 1998. This organization, The Flair Bartenders' Association, Inc. (FBA), is currently focusing on providing assistance to both bartenders and sponsors interested in new and existing events. The FBA currently endorses a few of the largest bartending competitions in the world.
The FBA is currently represented in countries all over the world. It is the goal of the FBA to help teach the art of flair, grow the sport of freestyle or extreme bartending, and support all styles of performance bartending in a safe and fun manner.
FBA bartenders work at all types of clubs, pubs, restaurants, and bars from small local establishments like Sixth & Main in Boise Idaho and Mariachi in montevideo Uruguay, to major destination resorts and clubs like Club China Jump in Singapore and The VooDoo Lounge in Las Vegas.
FBA members also include top bartenders and trainers from international operations such as TGI Friday's, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe, House of Blues, Baja Beach Club, Houlihan's, Chili's, Applebee's, Jack Astor's and more.
FBA bartenders promote the safe, common-sense approach to learning and performing flair and other performance styles of bartending, recognizing that busy shifts are not necessarily the ideal time or place for anything more than simple working flair. FBA bartenders focus on service and sales first, flair second. That is why we work hard to setup and promote special exhibition events and competitions to showcase our talents aside from our normal shifts.
