George at Seven Grand
George has been at Seven Grand since it opened a few years ago. He’s absolutely my favorite bartender there. I recently went back to try the new cocktails. This was a Monday but usually George opens Wednesdays and Thursdays. He’s gone by 9 p.m. so catch him for happy hour. He’s occasionally there on Fridays and also Saturdays from 8 to close. This information was texted to me by another bar stalker so please call ahead to confirm.

Davidson Fernie
Find Davidson Fernie at La Descarga on Friday and Saturday nights. He’s also at Harvard & Stone most other nights (Sunday through Wednesdays) with occasional shifts at Playa. Look for him at the new Pour Vous opening next month September.
I first met Dave at Test Kitchen where he’s come to gradually know my style of cocktail (brown, bitter, stirred). He always has a new whiskey cocktail to introduce to me. Quite a few of the cocktails are recipes from well-known New York cocktail bars. I love that he’s so well-versed. A recent favorite was the Americano. I’ve featured some of his bourbon cocktails here and his other whiskey drinks here.

Devon at the Tasting Kitchen
Devon’s also been on Marcel’s Quantum Kitchen. He and Marcel went to culinary school together and Devon has a very well-developed palate. I like his term “libation therapist.” Check out his FB fan page here.
Edit 7/22/11
Devon tells me he’s going to be at TK Friday and Saturdays and every other Thursdays.

Garrett at 1886
Garrett at 1886 Bar works on Wednesdays and Saturdays. He may pick up a shift here and there but definitely see him on those two days.
I found Garrett to be very personable. Perhaps because he’s also an actor but he had an incredible memory for cocktails and their history. He has been bartending over 10 years.
Check out my review for 1886 for more ideas for custom cocktails if you’re feeling adventurous and going off-list.

Welcome to The Minty’s Hot Bartenders! This is an off-shoot site of TheMinty.Com where I’ll profile hot bartenders around town.
I hope to also update their profiles with their schedules so you can visit them too. Think of this as a BarStalker site!
Cheers!

Daniel
Daniel works at O Hotel’s Bar | Kitchen on Saturdays and Mondays. He’s also at Playa.
Ask him to make you something with Fernet! Or Mezcal! Or well, anything. Pictured above is a beer & mezcal cocktail. It was quite a show when he swirled beer down a barspoon into the Collins glass and tapped the bottom of the glass with a wooden pestle.
Edit 7/18/11
Daniel is now at Bar | Kitchen Friday through Mondays. BK will be open on Sundays starting next month. Catch him at Playa Wednesdays and Thursdays.
