Behind the Bar is dedicated to the demystification of all things bar & booze.

Do you want to know a secret?

The magic of bartending is not really about the liquid in the glass- it’s about escapism.

The drinks we make are a small luxury we can indulge in in our day to day lives, and nothing encapsulates that more than cocktails. Sometimes however, bars and the often staggering amount of choice on offer can overwhelm.

So our mission here is to help you relax, escape and enjoy a little luxury by guiding you through the occasionally over complex world of booze. From cocktail tutorials, history lessons, beginners guides and deep dives we hope you’ll find whatever you need. If you don’t, let us know what’s missing!
