McKenna shared, “That night got really strange!”

Dave Debee
Guppy’s Good Times

Dave Debee has been bartending at Guppy’s Good Times for a year and has been a bartender for seven years. Debee won “Best of Conshy” last year while working at another establishment.

Debee’s favorite drink is Rumpleminze and the drink he enjoys making the most is a Manhattan. He enjoys bartending because someone always has a great story to tell.

His strangest experience bartending was when a Vice President of Taco Bell gave him a backrub when he was working at a bar in Orlando.
