Eloquently takes you on a ride...

I enjoyed the insights. A craftsman, an artist, a salesman with a conscience. I aspire to the same in my lines of work and thus felt a kinship.

Read superbly by the author and a treat to listen to at 1.1 speed.

Not your average mixologist book

I enjoy how the author does not just read recipes. Instead he speaks on his journey through the lifestyle of bartending and owning his own bar.

Audio Gold!

This is a wonderful telling of life in front, behind, and beyond the bar. Read by the author, it is endearing and surprisingly adventurous, with a candor that reveals fascinating details about what went into delivering one of the most exquisite nightlife experiences in this lifetime. It describes hospitality taken to the level of art, and is rendered with the humility and civility of a present day gentlemen with all his strengths and vulnerabilities. A fine book suitable for all, and especially valuable to young social and service oriented entrepreneurs.

One of the most accurate accounts of being behind a bar

I have spent more than 25 years behind a bar. Working in fine dining, all the way down to dive bars… this book, this author and his first hand account; anyone who has done this and has a S/O that just doesn’t understand should recommend this read.

A relatable pat on the back from a stranger who feels like an old friend.

An eloquently stirred cocktail served up that says, it’s going to be fine to old and new industry folk alike.
