The first post was spam. "Flair Bartending" is a joke that gets the ridicule it deserves. In fact, it's part and parcel of the world-wide mall phenomena that lets the L.C.D. think crappy, over-priced drinks are acceptable, turns Turkish caravansarai into malls, tears down Trader Vic's, blasts ear splitting levels of Tatu in every conceivable corner and is forcing the world into the giant grey mold of mediocrity. I don't now how many times I have to say this: The self-proclaimed "Flair Bartending" ( juggling bottles) is not the same as a bartender using flair or showmanship while mixing drinks. In the former, the quality of the drink is self-admittedly second the to show. To equate the two is just a weak attempt at sophistry. So spare us. And read all the posts in the topic.
