About Lisa

Lisa Alicea,
Your Local Bartender

I'm the friendly face behind Sip & Smile — a Dayton-based bartender who loves making people smile as much as she loves making a great drink.

I'm newer to the bartending world, but you'd never know it. My personality, warmth, and Ohio Bartender License mean your guests get someone who's professional, personable, and genuinely fun to be around.

Weddings are my favorite, but I'm happy to bartend all kinds of celebrations — birthdays, showers, corporate get-togethers, you name it. If there's a reason to raise a glass, I'm in.

From the first pour to the last toast, my goal is simple: make your guests feel welcomed, your event run seamlessly, and your celebration unforgettable.
