To those of you who remember the old Punta Chivato hotel. The sign behind the bar stated " These Are Doubles." and there were quite a few times that
I can't remember getting lost, or found, after testing the validity of that sign. It was kinda like --betcha can't drink just one>
I yam what I yam and that\'s all what I yam.

A couple people have mentioned the Serinidad. My favorite bartender worked there. Mateo was his name. Don't remember anything about his bar skills,
but he took me out fishing one day and we sat over a giant baitball and caught fish until my back hurt. He's well known in the area.

I have to cast my vote for Fernando at the Rosarito Beach Hotel. Love his margaritas. And he does some very entertaining and fun bar tricks.
Ask him to show you his pet mouse..................

Kasheydog, Yep have to count in Fernando also, as he is good bartender and keeps your drinks coming quickly. You just need to put an empty in the
well since an empty cold one just screams for a full one,LOL. He loves to do his mouse trick for the ladies and the ladies do get some loud and
continual laughs out of it! Take Care & Travel Safe---- "No Hurry, No Worry, Just FUN" bajafun777

Anyone stay at the old (now gone) Posada de Englebert? Nice bar, right on the patio, with a nice bartender. Nothing world class, but just a pleasant
place to hang out. Nice Coromuel breeze, too!

I liked it when it was called Palmira. It has gotten progressively nicer since then, but progressively less pleasant at the same time. Just my
opinion, of course.

He's no longer there...tends bar at another place across town. But if you stop in you might see Abraham, he does it well also.

What he said. Plus add Miguel (Mike) at the Bar Diana in Tecate. The place and the bartenders make it a favorite of mine. :tumble

Agree, really enjoyed the Posada. The whole experience was very nice. We used to stay there before and after week-long liveaboard dive trips on the
old Baja Explorador. Sorry it's gone.

Vinciente at the Old Mission Hotel;
Vinciente I taught how to make Two Eyed Tequillas.
A good Guy and knew how to make good Drinks.
Second would be Nicky at the Hotel Oasis He has been there 30 years that I know of.
Then if you want to got back, Fernando Aguiliar Cunningham the Builder and Founder of the Cafe Ole in Loreto was once a Bartender at the Flying
Sportsman.

now long long gone?

Los Gordos' original barkeep was a gentleman named Rafael. He wore a starched and pressed tuxedo shirt and pants with a natty bow tie. His
margaritas were great, in 10 oz. glasses and he always added a floater of tequila...and he would keep adding a floater as the glass emptied.
Also in those days, Estella made her own mix from lemons and limes from her garden in TJ

Dennis - About 1980. I believe he was at the building across the street too, before the fire. When I first came down the Two Turtles was still open
- but I would only drink beer from the bottle. Before Abel and Estella took over that building was seriously scary.
