For years I worked the graveyard shift in a dimly lit 24/7 dive bar in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. During that time, I had the privilege of meeting the craziest, most brilliant, and most generous people you could ever hope to encounter--the local service industry.

Bartenders Union was born from countless work stories, Jameson shots, and wild antics at 4 in the morning, when all of the bartenders, servers, and cooks were getting off of work and filtering into the bar to decompress after a long night of serving customers.

Not only are all of our designs crowd sourced with feedback from industry folk, we also pledge 10% of all profits towards giving back to the local hospitality community. This year, part of your purchase with us goes towards providing service workers with grocery store gift cards to help offset lost income during hurricane season.
