The Mixing Glass | Guest Shift - Tara Gillum | Bars on Open Water

Monday, September 23, 2024 • Duration 01:15:44

You're listening to Bardtenders! In this episode of "The Mixing Glass", Tara Gillum joins us to talk about her 20+ career in the hospitality industry. We cover cruise ship bartending, what it's like to own a cocktail bar, and working with charity organizations.

Tara Gillum cut her teeth behind local bars at an early age and quickly fell in love with the bar industry. Over the course of her career, Tara worked in a variety of positions ranging from cruise ships to hotel bar management. In 2014 she took a leap of faith and opened Steiner’s Speakeasy in Chillicothe Ohio. Although the focus and offerings of the bar changed over the years from craft beer to cocktails and spirits, the drive to be more than just a place to get a drink stayed the same.

During the pandemic of 2020, Tara went to the internet to reach her community. Steiner’s Happy Hour at Home was born, online cocktail classes from Tara’s kitchen where people could log on and interact, just like they would in the bar itself. That was a pivotal moment.

After multiple awards for her cocktails and entrepreneurship, Tara decided she wanted to do more with spirits and cocktail education. Whether it be in a class full of community members or a bar looking for new ideas, Bad Girl, Good Cocktails is Tara’s endeavor into making the world a tastier place.

Sarah began her bartending career at Scarlett O'Hara's in downtown St. Augustine in 2014, when Mumford & Sons ROCKED the city. Building on two years of serving experience and a deepening passion for bartending, Sarah fully immersed herself in the craft. Following the acquisition of Scarlett O'Hara's by a company specializing in craft cocktails, Sarah enhanced her skills in quality ingredients and advanced techniques, which she later applied at Barley Republic, further expanding her expertise in beer and whiskey.

In late 2018, Sarah joined the Ice Plant, where she honed her craft cocktail skills until a COVID-related furlough in March 2020. During this period, she and her partner launched a food and beverage Instagram account to explore the changing F&B landscape. After a brief tenure as a Beverage Manager, Sarah chose to focus entirely on McKarl’s Libations in February 2021.

McKarl’s, which began as a social media food and beverage concept, has since evolved into a thriving hospitality company. McKarl's is committed to delivering exceptional service and innovative cocktails, offering bar program consulting, and fostering connections between consumers and brands. After three years into this journey, they continue to experience significant growth.

The Mixing Glass | Guest Shift - Devin Chapnick | The Hero's Journey & Hospitality

Monday, September 9, 2024 • Duration 01:29:35

You're listening to Bardtenders! In this episode of "The Mixing Glass", Devin Chapnick returns to discuss advocacy for our peers in the hospitality industry, creating positive work culture, and "The Hero's Journey & Hospitality".

Devin Chapnick is the owner of Convenient Cocktail Co. The idea of Convenient Cocktail Co. was formed in the Fall of 2022. Devin moved there in 2021 with his then soon-to-be wife after years of working in the Denver bar scene. Devin had plans of opening his own bar and settling down. Devin met his future business partner Josh while working at a local cocktail bar called No Hard Feelings and soon discovered that they were also neighbors! While drinking one night at one of their home bars, Josh mentioned that he wanted to try to get a dehydrated garnish company started, and pitched it to Devin to partner with him. At first, Devin was skeptical, but for the next three days, it was the only thing he could think about. Devin came up with the name, a design for the logo, and three weeks after that - they were in business! Devin’s wife Caitlin was several months pregnant at the time, and from the first time we spoke about having a family Devin always said that he’d want to be part of the Stay at Home Dad's Club. Over a year and a half later, Dad doesn't stay home anymore, but Finn does come to the shop 4/5 days a week and they cherish this special way that they have shaped their lives.

Devin feels truly lucky to be able to connect with people in the specific context of this profession, despite the myriad hardships that all hospitality professionals must face on a day-to-day basis.

You can follow Devin on social media @Devin.Drinks and you can follow Convenient Cocktail Co. on social media @convenientcocktailco
