The New Cocktailians

Jason Albertelli – Bartender
His passion for booze is matched only by his desire to create truly great cocktails. Garnishes fear him, women adore him. Legend has it, if you cut him, he bleeds tequila. (Please don't cut him.)

Joy Albertelli – Bartender
Los Angeles raised, she’s a celebrity relapse specialist, and she’ll be happy to help you with yours. Don’t expect candy in a glass. She makes real drinks for people who like real drinks.

Quinton Burke - Bartender
Professional rugby star and cocktail hound, Quinton's boozed it up on several continents. Hailing from South Africa, his accent is amazing. We don't know what he's saying, but it's amazing.

Rachel Elicona - Bartender
Rockin' Rachel is our shooter specialist. She's also a closet numismatist. Don't know what that is? Neither do we, but we think it means "extra sexy".

Casey Shelton – Bartender
Three words for you: closet karaoke addict. Who would have guessed? When he's not rockin' the mic, he's rockin' the bar. Tell him to get a haircut...please!

Chris Stanton - Security/Host
Guitarist, singer, doorman and new papa, Chris doesn't spend much time standing still. If he's not rocking, he's rolling.

Caroline Bryn - Cocktail/Bartender
Our newest addition, sweet Caroline takes care of the house on Fridays and Saturdays, but has been seen behind the bar. She's young, but dangerous. Watch yourself.

Guerin Bell - Barback/Bartender
He looks innocent, but he's not. He's like a secret weapon, except that weapon is a spork. Give him a hard time, he enjoys it.

Call us or write us using the fancy white form. We specialize in making special events special. We love celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, getting a new job, losing a job, hook ups, break ups, funerals…anything really, except we don't do baby showers.

Some of the magic and the madness:

Pisco Al Puro
We take the classic pisco sour and make it better. A hint of allspice makes it perfect for that winter chill.

Pegu Club
A timeless clasic. Start with fresh lime, orange bitters, Plymouth Gin and a dash of cointreau. Sublime.

District 9
For the whiskey lover who's bored. 1792 Ridgemont Reserve, elderflower and lemon. Absinthe rinse on the glass. Wow.

Le Pomme et Le Poire

The most amazing sparkling cocktail you'll ever have. Pear preserves, Sapphire gin, lemon, cointreau and a splash of Asti.

Red Dawn
Fresh seasonal berries, Russian Standard vodka, ginger liqueur and ginger beer. Drunkenly refreshing!

Warm N Fuzzy
We take some great bourbon, add a bit of maple bitters and a dash of pumpkin spice. You won't be able to stop. Promise.

Orange Jalapeno Margarita
We didn't invent the jalapeno regardless of what you've heard. We just make it better by adding really great tequila, fresh sour and cointreau.

We specialize in all of the classics, from an algonquin to a zombie. We hand stir our martinis, make our own syrups and sours and will happily create a custom drink just for you. We make real drinks for people who enjoy the art of drinking. Watch the magic and join in. You'll never be disappointed.

Of course, if you just want a beer, that's cool! We have something for everyone....
