Legends of Bartending
The One that started a Tradition.

After competing in several world class bartending events in all corners of the globe (and winning), flair master Ken Hall had a vision. The biggest bartender competition on earth should be in the bartending capitol of the world - Las Vegas. With his in-depth knowledge of the sport, Ken began work on the event. Ken knew how it should be set up, knew who should help sponsor the event, and knew who should compete. It all came together and culminated January 19th 1999 in an event title Legends of Bartending. With competitors like Bill Long, Phillip Duff, Anne Reiff, Rob Ford, Patrick MacNamara and Stefan Notteboom, Legends 1 proved to rival other competitions of the era. Legends of Bartending is now an annual event and is considered to be a true world class competition. This two camera shot video shows the speed round, the working flair round, and the specialty drink round of the finalist, plus the working flair round of a few of the others. Great entertainment and great for learning. See how it all started. Over 2 hours (in color) of pure flair enjoyment. Currently only available in a VHS- NTSC format.
