Jimmy Cirrito
Owner Of Jimmy's Old Town Tavern, Herndon, VA

Claiming to have been born on a pool table, Jimmy Cirrito began his career in the restaurant industry at the age of 15 washing dishes and bussing tables at his cousin's Inn south of Buffalo, NY. At 18 he relocated to L.A. and began bartending at a famous Italian restaurant named Miceli's in Universal City, CA. At age 21 he moved again to the DC area and began bartending for the original Pargo's restaurant, a chain that began in Manassas, VA. A year later he was hired as General Manager of a popular nightspot called KC's where Jimmy learned that bartending, promoting, and fundraising went hand-in-hand, and with that he went on to achieve numerous certificates, awards, and trophies for his on-going participation in area charitable contests and events. In 1990 he was featured in Ripley's Believe it or Not for bartending 24 hours a day for 12 straight days in an effort to raise over $12,000 for the Multiple Sclerosis Society. In 1994 Jimmy was crowned Washington DC's Fastest Bartender in a contest in which over 80 bartenders competed to see who could make drinks the fastest most accurately.

After 5 years at KC's, Jimmy moved on to a handful of other bars and nightclubs, bartending, spinning records, and running countless promotions and contests.  At the age of 30, Jimmy opened his own restaurant, Jimmy's Old Town Tavern in Herndon, VA, where he still works today...5 years later! Since the beginning of his venture in this industry, Jimmy has helped raise 100's of 1,000's of dollars for various charities, and has been hired to give seminars around the U.S. and Canada to share his secrets of success. His favorite fundraiser of all time is the Bartender's Jump for charity, in which bartender's raise pledges and jump out of perfectly good airplanes; Jimmy has hosted this promotion twice with over 30 jumpers and over $17,000 in pledges to various charities.
