===============================================

With the Bartender at Large movie available for purchase now, we have been getting tons of questions from you guys about how & why we made it, so we decided that instead of answering each individual question, we would tackle them all for you in one place.

So this episode is special in many ways, especially because Erick is the one answering the questions instead of asking t

With so many new job opportunities for today's bartender, the role of a corporate mixologist would have only been a dream 10 years ago. But what exactly does the job entail? Thankfully, we were joined by two of LA's top bartenders, Tricia Carr and Juan Sevilla, to give us the lowdown.

This week we talk about training bartenders from scratch, creating your own job, and making the change from late nights to a 9 to 5.

New episodes will be up every week. Much love, and thank you for tuning in!

Making Syrups, Depression & Beating Stress by Hungry Bartender

With our award-winning documentary becoming available October 9th online, we have been keeping very busy over here at Bartender at Large HQ, especially with all of the killer preorder bonuses. But enough about all that, let's get down with this week's episode.

With all of the conversations that we have had so far with bartenders around the world, I have never really made the time to showcase my own bar in San Diego, Polite Provisions. Since many of you have requested it, I decided to sit down with t

For our latest episode, we decided to head on over to downtown Los Angeles and meet with one of the bars that is helping to revitalize the neighborhood. Dustin Newsome (Seven Grand, 213 Hospitality) and Daniel Zacharczuk (Walker Inn, Varnish) are both veterans of the downtown scene, and they have loads of useful information to share.

Together with their team, they have helped to build an amazing place, Bar Clacson, that has been collecting accolades not only around the city, but across the country as well

Bartenders across the country know that the cocktail community would not be where it is today without the support of quality liquor stores. For years, they have been providing us and our customers with quality bar tools and hard find to bitters.

Because of the pivotal role that these stores have played over the years, we just knew that we had to get Joe Keeper on an episode. Joe is the founder and owner of the iconic Los Angeles spirits shop, Bar Keeper, and he brings a passion and perspective that makes

With so many options and opportunities today for work within the bartending community, it can be very easy to get overwhelmed in regards to which career path to follow.

To help us navigate the abundance of jobs, titles and roles in the spirits biz, we brought on Anne Louise Marquis, National Portfolio Brand Ambassador at Campari. She has years of experience in working on brands, and has plenty of useful advice for any bartenders interested in making the move into a brand role.

Over these last several years, craft distilling has been taking off all around the country, and now some amazing products are being made by local producers that are taking the liquor industry by storm. Not only are many of these distillers making innovative and interesting new products, but they are fundamentally changing the way America thinks about spirits.

Laura Johnson, of You & Yours Co. Distilling, is one of these new distillers on the scene and is blazing her own trail with a DIY attitude, and som

Anyone who has been following the cocktail scene over the last several years knows that tiki cocktails and tiki bars have been coming back with vengeance. And much of that momentum has been fueled by the genius of this week's guest.

Martin Cate, and his tiki empire, which includes everything from bars in several states to a James Beard award-winning book, Smuggler's Cove: Exotic Cocktails, Rum, and the Cult of Tiki, has taken the cocktail world by storm. Due to his influence on how we drink today, we jus

We all know that running a bar with a proper cocktail program can be a difficult task, but how much more difficult is it to run two? Now how about two with way different concepts?

To answer these questions we met with John Ottman (Holy Water, Bloodhound) and one of his bartender's Doug Sederholm (Holy Water.) Ottman runs two well-respected cocktail spots in San Francisco that are not at all alike, yet both are very successful. So tune in, as we hear from him on he pulls it off.
