Welcome to About Town Bartending — where every event is an opportunity to craft unforgettable experiences!

Our Story

Hi, I’m Travis Crivaro, CEO (or as I like to say, Chief Excitement Officer) of About Town Bartending and Ultimate Bars. My story is one of passion, resilience, and an unrelenting drive to create unforgettable experiences for people.

I grew up with a love for the ocean and the great outdoors, but it was my early years in the hospitality industry that shaped my path. At 17, I started working at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort, where I gained invaluable experience in nearly every department—from banquets to fine dining. Those years taught me the importance of hard work, adaptability, and creating memorable guest experiences.
