After opening five bars across four countries in 12 months, legendary bartender Iain Griffiths moved to New York City on the exact day of the COVID shutdown. What started as a lease signed without a plan at 92 Second Avenue transformed into Bar Snack, an East Village neighborhood staple that has climbed from “Best Toilet in America” to number 3 on the list of North America’s 50 Best Bars.
Iain shares their journey through global hospitality, breaking down the unpretentious cocktail philosophy at Bar Snack, demonstrating their signature “Melonade” drink, and revealing what it takes to build a world-class bar on your own terms.
