Bartending is one of the oldest professions in the world, and like most professions, it is filled with all levels of performers. There are great bartenders, and those that are, well, less than great. Perhaps the most interesting part of this equation is the difference between a top notch and substandard bartender is very controlable. That is to say, it’s entirely upon the bartender whether they’re good at what they do … or not.

How accurate was the movie Elizabeth?
A question I dread answering — not very. The portrayal of costumes, customs and the interiors of buildings was absurd.
