EstherESTHER! Sweet, and an excellent judge of character, just don’t get on her bad side (she’s a 7th degree black belt) and has not forgot how to use it! Esther has bartended from the Keys to Tampa and she is a wealth of knowledge, especially when it comes to delicious cocktails! Come see Esther, usually on the weekends, but occasionally on a weekday. |

ChristineChristine has been with us for more than 8 years, she’s loyal and we love her for it! A mother of 13 and a devoted wife, science cannot explain where she gets her energy, but she has it (it’s probably the 2 massive cups of Starbucks that she drinks). Christine is behind the bar on Wednesdays and on the floor Thursday through Saturday…so come on in, bring her a large cup of coffee and have a beer! |

PaigePaige is a little ball of energy, sarcasm and energy. Her bartending skills are a combination of Tom Cruise in cocktails and Jesus. Her aspirations are to be the Mayor of Brandon, to write a book about bartending at Raccoon’s and to be the first woman to play in the World Series. Come see Paige whenever it is that she is working. |

MichelleMichelle! One of the most memorable women you’ll ever meet! At the age of 9, she re-wrote Machiavelli’s “Art of War” in Latin as a tribute to the great author and then at the age on 21 she drank Tucker Max under the table. Come see Michelle Thursday through Saturday, buy her a shot of Patron and then have some drinks while playing pool! |

PhilPhil is our resident flirt, and is always having a great time! This U.S. Marine will guarantee you will enjoy your time at Raccoon’s…well, that is if you are a female. Guys, there is always a woman behind the bar with this guy so you’re safe. Phil will always be remembered as the first man to be auctioned off on a date with former First Lady Nancy Reagan. Come see Phil behind the bar! |

BenBen loves Grand Mariner, Golf and his dog Dutch. Originally from our nation’s capital, Ben has bartended in D.C., Chicago, Baltimore and New Zealand. Another U.S. Marine bartending at Raccoon’s, he will always make you laugh, or fire some of his ridiculous antics toward you. He was born with a golf club in his right hand and computer in his left hand (he built this website). Come see Ben behind the bar! |
