What makes a truly unforgettable bar experience? 🤔🥃 Jack McGarry recalls a conversation with Sasha Petraske, who once said, "A Great Manhattan shouldn't taste like rye or bourbon. It shouldn't taste like vermouth. It shouldn't taste like bitters. It should taste like a perfectly balanced fusion of all those things." This idea extends beyond just cocktails to the entire bar experience. Here are some key takeaways from Jack's reflections: 🤝 A great bar experience is a seamless blend of elements: music, art, service, drinks, food, and even the cleanliness of the space. 👏 It's about creating a holistic, cohesive environment where no single component overshadows the others. 👀 Attention to detail, like the soaps in the bathroom or the absence of chewing gum under the bar, contributes to this balance. Reflecting on these insights, we see the value of crafting experiences where every detail counts. Listen to the full episode with Jack McGarry here: https://lnkd.in/gicj4s-b
