Music and ambiance are so much more important. Just give me a Corona and cut out the smoke and glass. we;re in a recession and we're at 10% unemployment, who's got time except trendoids and possers to do all this nonsense? Can you make a harvey wallbanger? Marketing tactic, trendy, and not realistic for the consumer.

Makes me remember the good old days when he was my favorite guy behind the bar at Smalls K.O. And then loved getting tequila to sip with a shot of Sangrita at El Carmen from him. Truly one of the best bartenders. The new spot sounds great. (link to Eric Alpren doesn't work, fyi) Ahhh…Raul.

It is much more difficult to put together the flavors of food on a plate than create drinks for a cocktail. While I think the term mixologist is through-and-through out of vogue at the moment, I see no real need to define what it means to be a bartender. If you are a bartender at a good spot like The Varnish, then you are doing a wonderful thing by creating good quality cocktails. You are a bartender. If you just mix wells and put together highballs in Hollywood, well, you're a bartender too. If someone takes their craft seriously, as Julian Cox and Eric Alperin do, then they deserve all respect. I'm pleased to see that Downtown has become such a wonderful destination for good drinks, and Las Perlas is certainly a highlight. Hope to visit very soon.
