"Pouring History: A Glimpse into the World of Bartenders" Step back in time and witness the artistry behind the bar counter, as captured by renowned artist Edouard Manet in his masterpiece "FOLIES-BERGERES. " This oil on canvas painting from 1881-82 transports us to a bustling Parisian scene, where a bartender skillfully crafts cocktails for eager patrons. Traveling across continents, we find ourselves at the Bar in the Adlon Hotel, Berlin. Here, mixologists master their craft with precision and flair, serving up concoctions that delight both locals and travelers alike. The energy is palpable as conversations flow amidst clinking glasses. In another corner of history lies Booths Dry Gin's advertisement at Gargoyle club. The allure of this spirit entices guests to indulge in its smooth flavors while being surrounded by an ambiance that exudes sophistication and elegance. Venturing further westward to Ignacio, Marin County, California, we stumble upon Gallis restaurant. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, bartenders here create libations that perfectly complement delectable dishes - a true testament to their dedication to culinary harmony. A glimpse into Guthrie's past reveals Moses Weinberger standing proudly alongside bartenders Mack O'Brien and Ike Reed at Same Old Moses Saloon - Oklahoma Territory's first legal establishment since 1890. These pioneers paved the way for future generations of bartenders who would continue shaping America's drinking culture. Fast forward to 1929 when an advert for Gordon's Gin captures our attention. Its timeless appeal transcends eras as it invites us to savor moments filled with laughter and camaraderie over classic gin cocktails crafted by skilled hands behind countless bars worldwide. The repeal of Prohibition brings newfound freedom showcased within a vibrant Greenwich Village bar scene from 1933. Patrons revel in celebration as they toast with long-awaited drinks once forbidden but now flowing freely, marking an era of liberation and joy.
