Once prohibition was overturned, bars and cocktail lounges came up all over the U.S. The gin and tonic was one such invention that came about during the Prohibition Era. Back in the American speakeasies, new drinks and cocktails were being invented. Hotels like the Savoy in London and the Ritz in Paris became hotspots for cocktails their bars served up delicious new concoctions all the time. American drinkers that missed their old haunts visited these places with such frequency that ‘American bars’ came up across these cities. Bartenders found other professions or migrated to big cities like London and Paris. The 20th century saw prohibition outlaw sale, consumption, production, and transportation of alcohol in the U.S., and the nation’s famous bars were replaced by illegal speakeasies. Reportedly, Jerry Thomas, a famous bartender during those times, earned more than the then Vice President of the U.S. This became a respectable profession across the country and was even one of the highest-paying. The 19th century brought many changes to the bartending scene in America. As colonization increased, bartenders began appearing in the New World.

Since alcohol was frowned upon during the early ages, the profession had an unfavorable reputation. Bartenders were usually alehouse owners or innkeepers (male or female) and would produce their own liquor. These guys worked through the centuries, commonly called ‘innkeepers’ in the 15th century (in Europe). Just kidding! But they did exist in ancient Greece and Rome, working in public drinking houses, which doubled as social gathering places. This profession goes back to ancient times when the dinosaurs roamed the earth.
