What to expect

If hired I'd make the event the most important thing in the world to me during it's duration. I'd make sure to ask and all necessary questions. I could offer guidance on a menu of offerings(from a beer list, to a cocktail menu and even a passable wine list) that would cover a range of preferences, as well as some interesting options that could be added for the adventurous. I'd act with the utmost professionalism if desired, but also make terrible dad jokes to lighten the mood if that's your vibe.
I do pretty well with anticipating needs, as well as problems, so I'd be able to offer insight into how and where things are set up.
Transportation wise I do not have a car, but I maintain arriving promptly on time, and early where applicable. I am able to bring my personal Cocktail Tools, if needed. As well as some Large Ice Cube Molds if it was called for.
Lastly I'd bring a positive attitude while maintaining responsible service.

About

I'm a service industry veteran with a focus on the customer experience. Anticipating, recognizing and fulfilling those needs within the framework of the bar, restaurant, or event. I only make drinks, but I create memories.

I've bartended and managed several restaurants and bars throughout NYC, several being in Astoria and Long Island City in Queens. I've been involved in craft beer centric establishments, so the wealth of my knowledge surrounds that industry and the catalog of breweries and beer styles throughout NYC and beyond. I've worked at many spaces that offered cocktail and can work quickly and efficiently. I find preparation of the utmost importance, so I make sure to consider the space, the people and the flow of business if given the input to do so.

I'd be genuinely happy to be able to serve drinks for your next event or party.

Additional booking notes

I can adapt to any situation, so I'd just need a surface to work with, so I'd be able to work anywhere from a fully setup bar to a Folding table.

My fee wouldn't initially include the purchase of products and alcohol for the event, but could be adjusted to if given ample time for planning, arranging transportation and setting up.

For a higher fee I can offer putting together menus via graphic design, as well as any other menus for the event that are needed.

I can bring my Cocktail Tools if needed.
