QUEST is the oldest and largest flair bartending event inthe world. It has been around since 1991 with early beginings at Pleasure Island in the Manquins Dance Palace. QUEST has gone through changes over the years as the industry changed. When it started, it was a contest to find the best bartender in Disney and expanded to Orlando and Florida. It had a speed round, a flair round, and a specialty cocktail round. Prize money was next to nothing at this point in time.
In the early 90's QUEST was actually "Quest for the best bartender in America". It then grew in the mid 90's to become "Quest for the best bartender in the World" as it became an international event and prize money went up to several thousand dollars total!. As flair grew, so did it's need for organization, so the FBA was actually born at QUEST in 1997.
Over time QUEST became the premier bartending event in the world as it was the most complete test of skills a top bartender should showcase. For several years, QUEST actually had an accuracy round as well! In 1999 LEGENDS of BARTENDING was born and became the hardest and most prestigious bartending event in the world. This allowed QUEST to go back to it's roots and relax it's stance and focus on fun and learning.
Over the years QUEST has been on TV a few times and in 2009 QUEST was shown to the world LIVE on the internet with great success. What does the future hold for QUEST? Stay tuned to find out.
See you next year in sunny florida!
