Efficient… congenial… flirty. These are all words used by Mexicali Rosa staff to describe resident barkeep Darren Anthony—your pick for the SuperCity’s best bartender. Perhaps owner Dave Turk best summed up Darren’s appeal: “He’s a blue-collar bartender. You know, straight ahead and not real flashy,” Turk surmises. “He’s a Newfie. That pretty much sums it up. It’s the Newfanese style of bartending.”
