People used to drink in taverns, hotels and restaurants, but they were different than the places we know today. There was no ice until the early 1880s and there were very few mixed drinks like we know them until the middle of the 18th<\/sup> century. Since the dawn of civilization, there have been servants in taverns and landlords in inns, but can we call them bartenders? In many cases, there wasn\u2019t even an actual bar! In those days, women played a vital role in bartending: they were in charge of brewing and distilling, because they were seen as activities akin to baking bread. In 1800\u2019s, it was worked out professionally.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Jerry \u2018the profesor\u2019 Thomas publishes the Bartender\u2019s Guide, the world\u2019s first guide to bartending and mixing drinks. Thomas is the spiritual father of the profession of bartender and is considered the world\u2019s first mixologist, first flair bartender and first celebrity barman. The book contained many recipes, which he had collected from other barmen on his travels, as well as many of his own. The book is a revelation and is as useful now as it was then.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

1919<\/strong><\/p>

The 1919 Volstead Act goes into effect and marks the start of prohibition in the States and makes it illegal to buy or sell alcohol anywhere in the US. Skilled bartenders leave the US to start the cocktail trend in Europe and Cuba. Drinks change forever: because of the poor quality bootleg or moonshine liquor, bartenders need to invent drinks that mask the original liquor. The use of bitters in cocktails starts to take off in a big way. A positive note is that women are much more accepted in bars, because illegal bar owners want to make all the money they can.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Ernest Raymond Beaumont Gantt opens the first Tiki bar in Hollywood, LA, called Don the Beachcomber. Tiki bars are theme bars inspired by Polynesian and Hawaiian culture. They have a tropical atmosphere with bamboo rods, tiki masks, water ornaments and a jungle d\u00e9cor. Another influential tiki bar was Trader Vic\u2019s, founded by Victor Bergeron in California in 1936. Tiki bars flourished for about 30 years.<\/p>

\u201cCocktail, a stimulating drink, made with any kind of liquor, sugar, water and bitters. In vulgar terms, it\u2019s called a bitter slinger, and it is supposed to be an excellent election drink, in that is makes the heart strong and bold, while at the same time clouding the mind\u201d, before they went out of fashion. In the 1990\u2019s, the tiki culture was revived by a new generation of tiki fans.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is usually considered to be the first singles bar is opened in New York City, the first TGI Friday\u2019s. Owner Allan Stillman just wanted a bar that would attract single girls, so everything \u2013 the d\u00e9cor, the music, food and drinks \u2013 was designed to appeal to young women and to be fun. This template for the modern singles bar \u2013 a relaxed, informal setting with different, interesting food and drinks where men and women are welcome whether alone or in groups and can meet in a relaxed atmosphere \u2013 is by now the template for every modern bar on the planet. Friday is also credited with continuing the blended drink trend, creating the modern type of bartending and creating an objective technical skill training for bartenders.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The first modern bars open. These bars are based on the same principles as Friday\u2019s singles bars, but more modern and focused even more on women: amazing interiors, high quality food and drinks, relaxed background music and generally speaking with a more stylish, subdued atmosphere than the thumping music and bottle tossing found in the singles bars. 57-57 in the Four Seasons in New York and the Atlantic Bar & Grill in London are seen as the first examples of this type of bar: within a few years, there were thousands more like them. These also were the heydays of the Cosmopolitan cocktail: adults were used to ordering a strong, stylish drink in a cocktail glass with premium ingredients.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
