Wahlberg took a break from acting to bartend at The Bellevue Chicago on Tuesday night (June 13).

To be fair, his bartending stint wasn't solely for the joy of serving drinks.

The 52-year-old was, in fact, promoting his tequila brand, Flecha Azul, which he describes as an authentic, premium Mexican tequila without additives or preservatives.

The alcohol brand was co-founded by Mexican PGA golfer Abraham Ancer and entrepreneur Aron Marquez.

According to Wahlberg, "Tequila is undoubtedly the healthiest choice," as he mentioned to Fox News.

Despite not being his go-to drink, Wahlberg's investment in a tequila brand may seem unusual since he admitted to being a "big wine guy" in the past.
