A bartender for more than a decade and a self-professed craft bartender for seven of those years, Chris arrived in Northeast Florida less than a year ago by way of Seattle. An Emerald City native – born and raised – Faber fell in love with bartending as a student at Pepperdine University and has since been featured in Imbibe, Mutineer Magazine, The Seattle Times, and Seattle Weekly. When asked what his favorite classic cocktail is, Faber says he's a pretty equal opportunity drinker – especially with a good bartender behind the stick. If forced to decide, he would probably go with a Negroni on a rainy day and a classic Caipirinha in the Florida heat.
