So another change in venue for me? I am moving on from the fine dining environment at Chandlers and entering another phase in my bartending career. On to the east side of Seattle, a place called Barrio, in Bellevue. If you live on the eastside and don’t want to make the drive to Seattle for a good drink, come on down. Barrio Bellevue will be home to the fourth Kold-Draft machine in Washington State. Located in brand the new Bellevue Towers (go to this website…) building on the ground level and has an incredible interior. The bar manager Casey Robinson is well known in bartender circles and extremely talented. He is the author of the bar menu which is fresh, ever evolving and offering as many as thirteen new signature cocktails including the flagship Margarita using orange Muscat. Some classics include the corpse reviver #2 and pisco sours… I’m losing sleep thinking about getting behind this damn bar. Pictures to follow and many more posts as summer comes to an end.

Welcome to the team buddy,
I look forward to building a brand new bar with you guys. It’s going to be a hell of an experience.
….. just don’t laugh to hard when you witness my training session; I’m not the forerunner in public speaking.
It’s going to be a great opening.
