Welcome to Bitchy Bartender

I’m The Bitchy Bartender

My name is Tony Williams, and I have been bartending in Chicago for over 10 years. I’ve been told more than once that I can be bitchy and intimidating to my enemies, but bitchy and charmingly with my friends. Honestly, I’ve just gotten tired of the nonsense and stupidity that often come with the job I love… so I’ve learned to embrace it. A lot of my bartender friends feel the same way, so I wanted to build a space where we can connect, share our bartender confessions, have a laugh, and remember we’re not alone in this wild industry.

Being the Bitchy Bartender, I wanted to create a community and give others in my indsutry something to wink at. Something to let others know, “hey, I get it,” when we are out in the world. The rich history of bartending has been around almost as long as our civilization, and I’m proud to be a part of that legacy. One of those is storytelling; anyone who serves has a story, and I want to hear it. So grab your glass, pull up a stoop, and cheer to everything we do!
