This week on Cocktails at Table 7, we got to spend some quality time with our friend and long-time Joe Allen regular, the marvelous John Glover. We discussed his memorable work in high profile projects based on DC Comics, his rewarding artistic collaborations with the great Terrence McNally, how an eavesdropping Joe Allen staff member generously made John’s ultimate show business “dream” come true, and, most importantly, we get to the bottom of who exactly gave him his clever and super catchy nickname, “J-Glo" (SPOILER ALERT: it was us!)

Cocktails at Table 7 - with John Glover, aka J-Glo!

Welcome! Don’t have a reservation? No problem. On Cocktails at Table 7: Inside New York’s Joe Allen, your table is always ready. In candid conversations with Broadway veterans, long-time regulars, even past and present employees, your hosts, Dana, Sean and Jason, recreate the intimate vibe that an evening at Joe’s has always offered. You’ll hear stories of the “Good Ol’ Days” in 1960’s Hell’s Kitchen, rarely told anecdotes from the shows on the “Flop Wall,” and the special connection between the restaurant and the people who make theater happen (Chita Rivera, F. Murray Abraham, and Daryl Roth, just to name a few.) You’ll feel like you’re tucked away at your favorite table or perched on a barstool sipping a martini, enjoying an insider’s night out. What began as an effort to preserve the connection to our beloved community has evolved into a joyful celebration of the memories and moments that have made Joe Allen one of Broadway’s most enduring hits. Cheers!

Cocktails at Table 7- Inside New York’s Joe Allen is produced and hosted by Jason Woodruff, Dana Mierlak, and Sean Kent, with music by James Rubio and logo design/artwork by Christina D'Angelo. The producers would like to extend a special thank you to the owners of Joe Allen, Orso, and Bar Centrale Restaurants.
