"Confessions of a Bartender is a new monthly column by an experienced bartender who's worked at a half-dozen noteworthy, scene-y bars in New York City and Los Angeles over the past dozen years. He's stirred (and shaken) things up at three spots that've made the The World's 50 Best Bars list, another which requires a secret password for admission...the sorts of places where celebrities, models, titans of industry and other A-listers mingle. He's seen it all, and he's eager to share it with you here."
"In the interest of maintaining past relationships and preserving future employment opportunities, I shall simply refer to myself as "Bartender." By way of curriculum aqua vitae, I have spent the better part of my adult life behind, in front of, and on top of bars (though "adult" is referring to my chronological age, as my mind is most certainly still in the throes of puberty)."
A bartender with a decade-plus career in New York City and Los Angeles worked at nightlife destinations including three World's 50 Best Bars and a password-protected speakeasy. He adopts the moniker "Bartender" to protect relationships and employment. His resume spans A-list nightclubs, renowned cocktail bars, Michelin restaurants, five-star hotels, private celebrity homes, and music festivals. He describes a culture of inspiringly depraved, hilariously debaucherous and unabashedly libertine behavior, while emphasizing professional restraint and a commitment to toe the line between fun and felony. He frames Halloween as one of the wildest nights in any bar and recalls shopping for minimal, risqué costumes.
