When is World Bartender Day?
Friday February 24thEvery year on February 24th, World Bartender Day honors the bartender, one of the world's oldest occupations. Bartenders can also display their unique skills and creations on display.

Jerry Thomas, a well-known American bartender, published The Bartender's Guide in 1862. It was the first drink book to be sold in the United States. Bartending was a common occupation in the United States even during the 1920s prohibition.
The number of bartenders in the country has continued to rise over the years. According to the most recent estimates, there are over 450,000 bartenders in the United States, with just over half of the country's bartenders being female. Of course, there are also bartenders in other nations around the world. However, some bartenders in the United States are different from those in the United States, and some of these differences include:
