To Sip or To Guzzle?

HERITAGE RADIO NETWORK
About this episode

The high/low, upstairs/downstairs, elevated dive concept has been in the news and on peoples’ minds for a while now, but you know who’s really taking it to the next level? Steve Schneider, one of the co-founders of acclaimed NYC watering hole Sip & Guzzle. Steve sits down with the band to discuss how his partnership with Shingo Gokan crafted their bar’s dual identity, their long history as foils in the bar community, and how he’d like to see this kind of concept described.


Plus, is there such a thing as a cocktail that’s impossible to screw up? Greg thinks he may have found one, and it’s probably not the one you think (cough cough, pisco sour)
