Clinton Weir Clinton Weir My passion continued to grow, for the skill it demanded and the joy of entertaining the public.

Welcome to my world, this is my short story;
It begins nearly twenty years ago in Pretoria, South Africa, where I started working as a waiter and soon fell in love with the Cocktail & Flair side of bartending and by 2002 I had entered and won my first competition. I worked hard, had the pleasure of being head bartender in 80% of the bars ive worked since 1997 and I entered endless competitions to

test myself against the best in my field. In 2004 and 2005 I was the first bartender to win both a national Flair and a national Mixology championship and now hold five of each title in South Africa. I’ve achieved world ranking in Flair and Mixology and national titles in South Africa, the United Kingdom and Australia. And was crowned National Flair Champion in Australia three years in a row and winning the last 12 competitions in Australia making me undefeated in 5 years. Over the years, I performed Flair and Fire shows in 18 countries at over 800 events, developed over 50 menus, hundreds of recipes, appeared in high profile promotions, and served some of the very rich and famous. I established the London Flair Club in 2008 and quickly rose from top 30 in the UK top 10 in the world finals of Roadhouse. Arriving in 2011 over the pond, the Melbourne Flair Club was born to create free social club to ‘Raise the Bar’ in the world of Flair in Australia for those who also felt the thrill and the desire to succeed in the art. Today we have had over 300 people come through our doors and a mix of 12 nationalities. MFC has become a welcoming ground for any new bartenders arriving on our shores who needs a guiding hand and bottle into the Melbourne hospitality industry. Then came the birth of my own professional profile show casing my career, achievements and full range of hospitality services – www.clintonweir.com.au and provoked me to create my own range of flavoured sugars for the beverage, coffee and culinary industries called www.sultrysugars.com.au.

Big News!

My brand new Introduction to Flair Bartending Course is officially live – and the first date is locked in!

This is a one-day immersive experience, packed with both theory and hands-on practical training. Whether you’re brand new to flair or looking to refine your skills, this course is your gateway into the world of flair bartending.
10 Spots only!

We’re keeping it small and personal with a max of 10 students per session to ensure high-quality, individual attention.

In hospitality, service is both verbal and visual—and flair bartending brings the visual side to life in the most captivating way.

This course explores how bartenders can elevate their service through theatrical movement, creativity, and showmanship, transforming routine interactions into memorable guest experiences. Flair bartending is not just about “tricks”—it’s a disciplined craft requiring focus, dedication, and refined technique.

Whether you’re flipping bottles or simply moving with confidence and rhythm, flair allows you to express your unique style while maintaining speed, efficiency, and professionalism behind the bar.
