Shot #111 - Awards and the World's Best 50 RAW

I wanted to give my raw take on the awards, especially the World's Best 50 that was just announced. I spoke with Mark Sansom from the organisation a few weeks back about the changes they have made over the last 6-12 months and I also go into how and why awards are important, what they mean to venues and to cities. This is my experience with the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards and how it not only changed Clive's Classic Lounge but also Victoria as a city.  Share a dram with the hospitality industry’s top global talents: bartenders, venue owners, distillers and industry aficionados. Shawn Soole has lived, breathed, and imbibed hospitality for decades. Now, he delves into the advice, opinions, and provocative stories that are helping to define the creative, culturally-necessary space of ‘modern hospitality’—covering topics from front-of-house service, to back-end business operations, and every inch between. “Tales of the Cocktail” - Top 10 Best Broadcast or Podcast (2020).
