Welcome back to the BartenderHQ Podcast and Sam is back, because finally The Vanguard is Open!

Sam’s been working on the project since the middle of last year and finally, the builders are finished and the guests are in. Positioned in Birmingham’s historic Jewellery Quarter above 1000 Trades, The Vanguard offers modern cocktails and mead.

The Vanguard at 1000 Trades

We touch on some of the popular drinks on the menu, as well as Sam’s philosophy about the structure of the menu and service in the venue.

Have any questions for Sam about the bar? Hit up @VanguardBar on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
