Jim Meehan, well known author and bar man based in Portland, Oregon, is a loyal friend and partner to Moore & Giles. Also known as “The Godfather of the Modern Bar”, Jim shares how he has come to appreciate what goes into the aesthetic of a bar and how leather crosses into his business. From barstools to aprons, leather is a crucial component in making a bar feel rustic and aged. Pouring an immense amount of work into specific details, Jim discusses the struggles of receiving feedback and how it differs whether you’re serving a drink or publishing a book. While “winning” is always a goal for Jim, “winning” with others is much more fun for him with the multitude of people that have contributed towards his life projects.
