Introduction

I am a bar veteran carrying over 15 years of working in high end, craft cocktail bars, etc. “Etcetera” meaning I’ve got a pretty diverse resume. From Chicago to Phoenix, I’ve competed, won awards, traveled the world, consulted on prestigious bar programs and been featured on tv/news several times for my craft. I am particularly skilled at creating a fun atmosphere and a hospitable ambience around cocktails, AND I take the business side seriously. Easy communication, transparency and integrity are paramount to starting a good business relationship. I will not make promises I can’t follow through on! One thing that separates me from the competition is that I am new to the app and I am willing to negotiate on price for the opportunity to create a name for myself. I look forward to making your event fun and lively and something your guests will definitely remember!

Hired on Thumbtack

I had hired Dante for a Diwali Indian backyard party. He went above and beyond in his service that he had researched about background and culture behind the Diwali event and came prepared to serve the guests with an Indian touch. He is also very experienced, has great hosting skills and engaged with the guests very well. He is a great bartender and one of the few that can really elevate the experience for the guests. Dante is great and I would hire him for all my events .

Dante is the professional bartender you're looking for! Not only did he arrive to the event early, he set up a beautiful bar and brought so many of his own tools, glasses, etc...to make it perfect. And he worked with my client to determine what drinks to serve and how much to purchase. I will be using Dante on all my future catering events!

Details: Special event / party • Fewer than 50 guests

My dad’s surprise 70th party came with some challenges, Dante was not one of them; he was such a delight and a breath of fresh air! I live in San Diego and it was somewhat difficult planning a party in Ahwatukee. When it came time to find a bartender, I was a little nervous. Then I saw Dante‘s profile. If you don’t hire him, you’re missing out. He was on time, polite, very responsive, and easy to work with. His exceptional level of care, customer service, and personality is above and beyond. My family loved him. Anytime I’m in Phoenix throwing a party, he is definitely going to be our bartender. I highly recommend Dante.

Details: 76 - 100 guests • Birthday party • Formal / elegant • Public venue • Beer • Liquor / mixed drinks • Non-alcoholic beverages • Wine • Venue will already have a bar • Tip jars allowed • Ice

I hired Dante to be the bartender at my wife's celebration of life party, and he was absolutely amazing. His personal touch and attention to detail made everyone feel special. Guests raved about his cocktails and his friendly demeanor. Dante truly enhanced the atmosphere of the event, and I couldn't have been happier with his service. Highly recommended!

We hired Dante to bartend our backyard wedding reception. Best decision ever, second only to actually marrying my husband! Dante created a personalized experience for us and our guests. He both entertained and served up the best drinks I’ve ever had. Every party with Dante is better than every party without him!
