96, Steve Schneider, co-owner Sip & Guzzle (NY), Elysian Cafe (Hoboken), Employees Only (Singapore) & The Odd Couple (Shanghai)

Ever wondered what'd happen if I sat down with Steve Schneider for three hours over half a bottle of whisky and numerous beers?Wonder no more!Steve's been a friend since his time bartending (and later managing) Employees Only NY, and I've had the pleasure of drinking with him in EO Singapore, which he co-founded. His newest place, Sip + Guzzle in Manhattan, is a second project with Shingo Gokan after they opened The Odd Couple in Shanghai. We go into detail of how Steve got into bartending, how he made the step to bar ownership, and why he's happiest now standing behind his own bar, commanding the room and raising the next generation of New York City bartenders. Plus, we catch up and talk a ton of shit about everyone. Happy Holidays, everyone!Steve on IG: https://www.instagram.com/mightyschneidey/?hl=enSip & Guzzle on IG: https://www.instagram.com/sipandguzzlenyc/?hl=enElysian Cafe on IG: https://www.instagram.com/elysiancafehoboken/?hl=enEO Singapore on IG: https://www.instagram.com/employeesonlysg/?hl=enThe Odd Couple on IG: https://www.instagram.com/theoddcoupleshanghai/?hl=en (Get in touch with Duff!Podcast business enquiries:  [email protected] (PR friends: we’re only interested in having your client on if they can talk for a couple of hours about OTHER things besides their prepared speaking points or their new thing, whatever that is.
