Ben and Jamie own and operate a number of bars together in Nashville, TN. Their innovative approach to all things drinks has helped ramp up the level of expectation in Nashville to national acclaim. Hear how they traveled the world exploring the lands of sugarcane and agave, ultimately creating a menu that pays homage to exotic flavors and authentic recipes. 

It’s no wonder Tennessee is nicknamed “The Volunteer State.” Ben and Jamie talk about some of the efforts they’ve been a part of in giving back to the community. Whether donating over 20,000 meals for industry workers during covid to raising funds for natural disasters around the world, they and their teams are there to assist.
