To give bartenders some love, Sailor Jerry's wanted to take a bold step and make Bartender Appreciation Day (B.A.D.), an official holiday in the UK as a way to say thanks for all their hard work and unwavering patience.
Sailor Jerry spoke to 1,000 drinkers and bartenders across the UK and only a measly 1% admitted to tipping!
70% of the UK public think good service makes a good bartender and both sides of the bar were united by the greatest British stereotype of them all; queuing, with a quarter of bartenders and a third of drinkers in favour of a queuing system being introduced to bars.
Sailor Jerry is encouraging British drinkers to show solidarity by backing this initiative and signing the petition as well as voting for their favourite bartender in a search for the Nation’s Favourite Bartender at:
www.bartendersday.co.uk 
Yesterday evening, Sailor Jerry kicked off the launch of the campaign by throwing a damn awesome party with Psychedelic rock band Fat White Family headling the Sailor Jerry Presents gig.
With Sailor Jerry's rum flowing and great music in our ears, we had a thoroughly enjoyable night!
