Commercial Bar Design That Works w Tobin Ellis | Bartender at Large ep 510 Video

from Bartender at Large

Have you ever worked a shift behind a bar that seemed like it was designed by someone who has never made a drink in their life? Wells in all the wrong places, no room for a trash can, and a setup that leaves your back aching by last call. This week we are joined by six-time international bartending champion and founder of Studio Bar Magic, Tobin Ellis, who has spent over two decades fighting to fix exactly that. So tune in as we discuss his theory of "zero-step bartending," why the bar is the true engine of any restaurant, and how getting real bartenders involved in the design process can save your body, your guests, and your bottom line. In addition, we chat about his new book, Bar Design Essentials, which offers practical guidance for everyone from barbacks to architects.
