America Walks into A Bar

Listen Later

In colonial America, Taverns were the de facto courtroom, post

office, library, news center, town hall, community center and sometimes:
church.  Sometimes even jail! 
Taverns were the birthplace of the Revolution and Independence.

As the USA matured, bars and Taverns were still essential to our

society.  Even prohibition couldn’t
get rid of them as the Speakeasy came into existence. 

This week on the Bartender Journey Podcast, we speak with author

Christine Sismondo about her book: America Walks Into a Bar - A Spirited
History of Taverns and Saloons, Speakeasies and Grog Shops.

We talk about a Rockstar Bartender who pre-dated Professor Jerry

Thomas.  Plus, the evolution of
“bar etiquette”.  It’s the history
of bars from Colonial times all the way up to the modern “cocktail movement”.
