And the Nominees Are: Vote for Best Bartender in East County

As part of Patch's Readers' Choice 2012, we asked for your nominations for the Best Bartender in La Mesa, Lemon Grove and Santee. Now's your chance to vote.

There are lots of things that make a good bartender. Personality, sense of humor, and knowing customers by name are certainly some of them. As are those who can pour a draft beer with a perfect head, or those who linger a little longer over your glass as they eyeball a shot.

Most importantly, a good bartender knows when someone has had enough, and will personally make arrangements to make sure everyone gets home safe.

And in that vein, we want to know who's your favorite bartender in East County.
