What to expect

When you book The Shaken Juniper, you can expect a polished, efficient bar experience with thoughtful details and a calm, professional presence. I arrive prepared, handle setup and breakdown, and keep service running smoothly so your guests are taken care of without disruption. I focus on well-executed cocktails, clean presentation, and a bar flow that feels effortless and elevated. You provide the alcohol and I handle the rest, from pacing and service to atmosphere and guest experience.

About

I’m a professional bartender with years of experience behind high-volume bars and private events, known for staying calm, efficient, and detail-focused in fast-paced environments. I gravitate toward classic cocktails, clean flavors, and thoughtful presentation. The Shaken Juniper was built around the idea that great bar service doesn’t need to be complicated, it needs to be prepared, intentional, and smooth. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, my goal is always the same: a bar that feels effortless, polished, and taken care of from start to finish.

Additional booking notes

The Shaken Juniper requires a designated bar area with adequate lighting and space for safe, efficient service. I provide all standard bar tools and handle setup and breakdown. Clients provide all alcohol. Clear access to the bar area and venue is required to ensure smooth service throughout the event.

Influences and inspiration

Years behind the bar in both high-energy downtown Chicago spots and hometown sports bars taught me how to adapt my service to any room. Working in those very different environments shaped my ability to read people quickly, stay steady under pressure, and keep service smooth no matter the pace. That experience is what built my love for the industry and continues to guide how I approach events today. I focus on guest connection, clear communication, and creating a bar that feels easy for everyone involved.
