Atlantic City Weekly readers have voted for the best bartenders in a number of categories . The winners will be revealed at the Diving Horse in Atlantic City May 17.
On Thursday, May 17, the Diving Horse in Atlantic City will host Atlantic City Weekly’s First Bartender Awards. The ceremony, which runs from 7-9pm, with an after-party to follow at the venue (9 S. MLK Blvd., Atlantic City), will bring together the best bartenders and bar teams in the Atlantic City region (both casino and non-casino representatives) as voted by our readers at acweekly.com. Two awards will be handed out in six categories.
Below are the tallied final two nominees* in each category (again, two for casino, two for non-casino venues). At the ceremony, the winners in each category will be announced. Atlantic City Weekly, as with our annual Nightlife Awards each January, is proud to celebrate these important folks who help the local nightlife scene machine running like it does. We thank our readers and ACWeekly.com users for voting and the Diving Horse for hosting what is certain to be a memorable bash.

A look back at what happened in the Atlantic City area in 2011.
From the Shannon Twins, Paz de la Huerta and the Showboat Bombshells to Rihanna, Britney, Crystal Harris and the Girls of Playboy Golf...
Last May’s grand opening of the Diving Horse Cabaret & Steakhouse was among Atlantic City’s social events of the spring, touting a sort of who’s-who list of the resort’s top executives and dignitaries with a swagger that was certainly justifiable.
“I do a lot of business in Seattle, New York and other parts of the country, and whenever I’d host clients in A.C. I kept hearing ‘where is there a gentleman’s club?’ There are strip clubs, but no gentleman’s clubs and I wanted to open an upscale place where businessmen can enjoy themselves in a clean, safe environment without the strip-club mentality.”
