Table 20 is looking for LA’s Best Bartender. For another 2 weeks, they are taking nominations via their website here. There are prizes for the best bartender, the people’s choice bartender and all the top nominees get t-shirts!
But what do we nominators get? Well, other than being able to thank your favorite bartender for jobs well done in the past, you could win dinner at the Lazy Ox (for 4 people), dinner at Takami Sushi (for 2 people) and tickets to the post-contest party.
And if you enter your favorite bartender from now until Sunday at Midnight, you could win a very special prize.
A COCKTAIL TASTING FOR TWO (of our entire new cocktail list) AT OSTERIA LA BUCA. You will enjoy a tasting of each of our new cocktails, with food pairings to arrive from the chef to complement your cocktail enjoyment.
Value: Priceless – or $150.00, whichever comes first.
I’ll be drawing a winner for this package on Monday. In order to win, you must give me the Table 20 link(s) to favorite bartender(s) entries via twitter or on my fan page. Remember to tweet or post your message by Midnight Sunday. And yes, the more you enter, the more chances you have to win this contest and the nominator prize in general. Don’t forget to vote for your bartenders once you submit them and vote for any others you might like!
Step 1. Become a fan of Minty on Facebook
Step 2. Follow me on Twitter
Step 3. Register on Table 20 and start nominating!
Step 4. Tell me via a tweet or on Facebook your bartender links.
To nominate a bartender submit:
• the bartender’s picture (no picture? nominate via this link)
• the bartender’s name
• their place of work (name and location)
• why they deserve to be named LA’s Best Bartender.
Hint: Consider why they’re great bartender!
“The best bartender can be defined by many aspects: best service, best drinks, broadest drink knowledge, the fastest, best under pressure, best personality, best stories, best listener, most consistent, whatever attribute makes you happy. We wanna hear about them.”
Your nominations must be for bartenders not already nominated so take a look at the entries to see who has been nominated so far.
For reference, here are some of my nominated bartenders:
Adrian at Roger Room
** Full disclosure- I am not receiving anything for running this contest. I’m just a girl who likes a good cocktail. I have the same chances of winning the nominator package or party passes as you do. But unlike you, I’m disqualified for the La Buca package so enter away!

There are a lot of hot … err I mean talented … bartenders in LA. I got to meet a bunch of them at Tales of the Cocktail. I was particularly enamored by Joe Brookes of The Edison. Oh and, he is a great bartender as well. Hmmm. I sense a nomination coming on!

Pretty sure Joe’s been nominated but vote for him! And please do enter a nomination or 10
