The Complete Bartender (Updated) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I hire and train bartenders for two resteraunts and a night club. This is the only book I currenlty allow my bartenders to use behind our bars. The glossary and ingredient index are very helpful. This book has helped greatly in getting some consistency back among my bartenders. I have run across only a couple of problems with it. The binding. If this book had been spiral bound it would be much easier to actually use while working. Because it is in a paperback format it is more of a reference than a tool. The life expectency of any paperback behind a busy bar is about one week. Glossy or laminated pages would extend it's life. I'm sure that cost is a factor with both of these problems, but any working bartender would gladly spend a few more dollars and consider it an investment.

Meet Me in the Bar: Classic Drinks from America's Historic Hotels Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)In today's world, where Cadillac advertisements proudly portray their cars as loud and obnoxious, and
television slams viewers with excessive visual stimuli....
it is nice to find that not all has become loud, obnoxious and hyperactive.
I have already enjoyed visiting several of these superb hotel bars and
look forward to meeting friends at others featured in your book.
I highly recommend this book to those who appreciate finer things.
Thank you, Mr. Connors and Ms. McConnell - well done !!

Every major American city's social life was once defined by its grand hotel bars. Meet Me in the Bar captures and celebrates the romance, excitement, and grace of these American temples of good living. These landmark watering holes are toasted with foolproof recipes for their signature drinks-including the Boston Ritz Fizz and the Carlyle's Old Cuban-as well as classics such as the Manhattan and the Bloody Mary.One part travel guide, one part drink recipe book, Thomas Connors's handbook brings to life the greatest hotel bars, from New York's Bemelmans-with its whimsical mural by its namesake, the author of Madeline-to the gently rotating Carousel Bar at New Orleans' Monteleone Hotel. He relates the history of these venerable haunts, peppered with observations and stories told by the men and women who tend their bars.Meet Me in the Bar is full of historic images of hotel bars during their Golden Age, views as they appear today, as well as stylish color photographs of their appealing drinks. Elegant, sophisticated, and sometimes decadent, these retro drinks will charm lovers of vintage Americana. What bygone skill is more important than mixing the perfect drink?--This text refers to an alternate Hardcover edition.
