In this business it is so common to see a bar open up win a bunch of awards & then fizzle out within a few years as staff changes & a places loses its appeal. But what is far more rare is to see a bar that has been open 10 or 11 years growing & innovating, while still receiving accolades & taking home awards. This is exactly what the Connaught Bar has been able to do while under the helm of Ago Perrone & his talented team. To help us better understand the long-game & how to best achieve longevity in the bar world, we had the opportunity to sit down with Perrone, so he could share his views & philosophies on cocktails & hospitality with us.   Learn More: Connaught Bar https://www.the-connaught.co.uk/restaurants-bars/connaught-bar/   ==============================   Join us every Monday as acclaimed bartender, Erick Castro, interviews some of the bar industry's top talents from around the world, including bartenders, distillers & authors.
