Season 3 / Episode #12: Shaken & Skilled with Bartender Brittany Browning
In this month’s episode, we’re celebrating one of Roanoke’s greatest passions — great food, great drinks and the people who bring our hospitality scene to life. Joining us is Brittany Browning, your Platinum winner for Best Bartender in Roanoke City in our annual Dining Awards and the cover star of our November/December issue.
Known for her creativity, warmth and the way she makes every guest feel welcome, Brittany brings heart and craft to every shift at Martin’s Downtown. Born with one hand, she’s transformed what others might see as a limitation into a remarkable source of skill, resilience and connection — inspiring patrons, colleagues and anyone lucky enough to watch her work.
Grab your favorite cocktail, settle in and enjoy a conversation about hard work and hospitality that’s equal parts craft, heart and pure Roanoke spirit!
