Review: 

There are 1,259,874 bartenders working in the United States today. This is a show about six of them. That's the official-line on Lou Mustillo's Bartenders. I have no idea who did the counting: Can this million-plus number have been derived from Bartenders Union records? Living a simple and abstemious life, I have no familiarity with sitting at bars and chatting with bartenders. If I go to Kennedy's or another Irish Pub for Shepherd's Pie, I always try to find a quiet table in the back, away from the multiple TVs, the noisy arguments, the guff, and the occasional fights. But Mustillo's barkeeps are an amusing lot.
