My friends and I hired Julian for a mixology lesson, and he was simply outstanding! Julian suggested two great cocktails - the sazerac and the cherry blossom flip - and did a great job teaching, bartending, and creating a chill and fun atmosphere. He truly is jubilant - his warmth, sparkling personality, quick wit, and enthusiasm for his craft made for a truly memorable evening!

Jules was a great bar tender! Very attentive and tons of fun! I'd definite have him bartend another gathering!

Julian was a delight! He contacted me before the event and was able to provide some helpful hints for stocking the bar. He arrived a few minutes early to ensure we had enough set up time. He even took our signature cocktail to a whole new level with the addition of egg whites. Hire him.

Firstly, I never give out 5 but Julian really did an outstanding job. He showed up early to help set up, he was sociable, knew his drinks and was able to keep up with the demand. My only feedback is that he probably couldn't keep up with the mounting trash but I would have liked that he cleaned up a bit more but when you have a huge party, it gets to be very difficult. Easily hire him again.

Julian and his team were fantastic!! Everyone showed up early, got right to work and were all very easy to work with. You could tell this wasn't their first rodeo either. Each of them knew what to be doing and needed no real direction they just knew what to do. Julian was even so great that I text him about 30 minutes before he was due to show up and asked if he could grab some last minute ingredients because we had grabbed the wrong kind and with out hesitation he did and was still early!! We will absolutely be using Julian and his team again!!

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
Tending bar is a lot like working in a kitchen, only so much more; I get to cultivate not only a drink for my customer, but I am personally creating their entire experience. When you step up to my bar, not only do we share a good time, but you will have a very well executed cocktail pass through your lips.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I’ve worked for athletes, socialites, CEOs, I’ve done happy hours for tech companies, private New Year’s Eve parties, the list keeps going!
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I was lead bartender for this year's Oakland Pride party thrown on by benchandbar. We had a relatively full bar considering that it was a cash only block party, and it was quite a successful mission.
