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...
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...
We are so fortunate! After a 3 year hiatus, we got to travel to Montreal twice in the last few months. Montreal in the summer is gorgeous. There are hundreds of terraces to sit on and watch the city go by. The drinks being offered on those patios and then in the cocktail bars later...
When I was a kid I remember being stuck at my dad’s house for a weekend and there was a made for TV movie about the life of Isiah Thomas that we watched. This was right before the Pistons won the NBA Championship and maybe was the reason I started getting into basketball. We recently...
A few weeks ago, we got to travel to Boston for their annual Cocktail Conference, Thirst! Neither of us had ever spent any real time in Boston. There had been quick drop-ins or family trips from our youth, but never any adult time so we were pumped to hit up the city. Boston is a great town...

There are few cities on the planet better known as “places to drink” than New Orleans. On your first trip to New Orleans you need (NEED) to visit some classic spots. The Carousel Bar at The Hotel Monteleone, The French 75 Bar at Arnaud’s, The Erin Rose for a frozen Irish Coffee, The Sazerac bar...
New Orleans is one of those cities that I believe everyone should visit. It’s a place that is hard to describe until you are standing in it and then you feel the energy and the magic. New Orleans is a city filled with history. Wander the streets and you will be amazed by all of...
If you are in the service industry, odds are you or someone you know have visited Oaxaca in the last year. Oaxaca is mezcal central and mezcal is so hot right now. (Before getting into this post further, it is worthwhile to read this piece, written by Owen Walker of El Rey in Toronto to...
Aww! Miami Beach! A city, much like New York, where you discover that no one is actually from there (in fact, a lot are from New York!). For us Torontonians, Miami is an easy getaway – it’s a 2 1/2 hour flight and stays within the same time zone. Because of this, it’s the perfect...
