The art of Flair Bartending has been around since the late 1800’s with the Professor Jerry Thomas and his flaming cocktail the Blue Blazer. We see this with a quick napkin flip, a joke, some bar magic, a multi bottle pour, or even doing a short routine to entertain your guests, flair bartending is simply taking your bar service to the next level and entertaining your guests how they want to be entertained.
The Flair Bartenders Association (FBA) has been the longest heartbeat of
the global flair bartending community—a place where passion, precision, and performance collide. Dedicated to fostering connection, growth, and excellence, the FBA provides a world-class stage for bartenders of all backgrounds to compete, learn, and push the boundaries of their craft.
Through prestigious competitions, expert-led trainings, and a thriving international network, the FBA unites flair bartenders in a shared mission: to elevate the art of bartending and inspire the next generation of performers. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an aspiring artist, the FBA is your platform to hone your skills, connect with like-minded innovators, and showcase your talent on a global scale.
More than an organization, the FBA is a family of flair enthusiasts—supporting, celebrating, and driving the evolution of this electrifying craft. From the neon-lit bars of bustling cities to the grandest stages
in the industry, we give bartenders the spotlight they deserve and
the tools they need to turn passion into greatness.
Flair is more than a skill—it’s a movement.
“SERVICE first, FLAIR second, & PASSION always”
Welcome to the FBA. Cheers…

“Showcasing bartenders making high quality cocktails while entertaining from behind the bar”.
Cocktail Network Live is a new online presence created by Rob Husted and Dean Serneels. Cocktail Network Live is working to pivot bartending events into consumable social media content live on multiple platforms. We are dedicated to highlighting those that make these events so spectacular and fun for the industry. The competitors themselves. It is you that make these events fun, dynamic and inspiring for others. We are dedicated to showcasing everyone as an individual brand and create lucrative opportunities for all the bartenders competing.
Cocktail Network Live is a resource we are building to help bring education, exposure, opportunities and funds to bartenders and enthusiasts worldwide while helping grow our passions of bartending.
Professional bartenders have talent and marketable skills. We strive to be a platform to help showcase these talents and skills while giving back to the bartenders and helping us all grow together.
