Funny thing running Bartender Atlas. We go to whatever cities we can as often as possible and then suggest some of the bars that stand out from that trip (you know, like Paris or Sydney or Mexico City) but we have never done one of these in our hometown. A few days before leaving to…
We are fresh back from one of our favourite cities, Mexico City. It had been nearly two years since we had last been and we were amazed by how much growth there has been in the city in terms of new bars and bartenders popping up. The city was alive with enthusiasm for everyone drinking…
The depth and breadth of Italian made tipples is astounding. Of course when you think about drinking in Italy, most people will think of wine. However, last month The Italian Trade Commission and the people from The Spirit Of Italy sent a delegation of Canadian and American bartenders and writers and one photographer to Rome…
There are just too many great spots in Paris to grab a cocktail. If you haven’t looked at our Paris Bar Hop Part One yet it is right here. And in case that wasn’t enough (it definitely wasn’t) here another 4 amazing bars to visit in the City of Lights (does anyone call it that…
Paris is a great city. Period. It’s cute and historic and there are magnificent buildings that you recognize from every European history book and a ton of movies.

Becoming a “cruiser” is almost like learning a new language. The cruise culture has some very specific nuances and secrets, and once you learn the ins and outs, it will open your eyes to what you have available to you. On the average mass market cruise line, things operate relatively the same, but every line…
In the effort to help everyone drink better, we launched this monthly feature. The idea is to help as you navigate new cities in this world by learning how to drink in that city. We are talking: what to order, what neighbourhoods to visit, how to get around, what hours you can drink and everything…
In the interest of transparency, it would be irresponsible for us to not start this series. Even with all the bartenders, interviews with industry leaders, cocktails, bar hops and stories, the most popular post on this site is the Drinking at an All-Inclusive Resort. We are surprised every week when we look at the web…
By now you likely know that Barcelona is FULL of great cocktail bars! Because of this, we split our Barcelona Bar Hop into two parts. First up we explored the Gracia and Eixample neighbourhoods. This time around, we hit up the Born, Raval and Gothic areas of Barcelona. And just a little warning: you will…
