Flair Bartenders Association
The Flair Bartenders' Assocation began in 1997 at the largest flair competition of the time, QUEST in Orlando Florida USA, a small group of extremely passionate and talented bartenders decided to work together to organize and unite the 800 various competitions throughout the world, many of them being either local events or regional competitions. With that effort the Flair Bartenders' Association (FBA) was born and immediately became the fastest growing global membership association in the industry.
Since then, the FBA has grown to become the largest and most respected flair based organization in the world. The FBA is the global sanctioning body and the undisputed authority on the sport of flair bartending. With the creation of the FBA Pro Tour, it gave the sport a points chase for bartenders to compete year long and worldwide with their eye on Tour Championship.
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 the FBA works hard to setup and promote special exhibition events and competitions to showcase our talents aside from our normal shifts.
