Featured bartender: Anna Greco of Greco's Pub
It's a family affair at Greco's Pub and Eatery in Oak Creek. Bartender Anna Greco works with her dad, uncle and brother -- and collectively, they've built a popular bar that serves food, not the other way around. We caught up with Anna on a busy Friday night.

Featured bartender: Michelle Hoff of Centanni
Michelle Hoff hasn't been a bartender for all that many years, but she's worked in the service industry for more than a decade. Maybe that's why she was comfortable enough to approach Michael Bolton when he was in Milwaukee a few years ago and offer to do a shot with him.
