Best Bartender

Kelli Barker (Spirit Room/TowerAvenue Tavern)

Many in the Northland may not get to know their doctor, lawyer or mechanic as well as they get to know the bartender at their favorite watering hole. Kelli Barker takes the win again this year for being voted “Best Bartender.” Barker doesn’t consider herself to be the “Best Bartender” but definitely loves what she does and is often personable at her jobs. For some reason Superior bartenders come out well ahead of Duluth bartenders for overall votes.

Runner Up: Josh Roux (The Dugout)
