    Bar Keeper
    Bar Keeper
    When out with my seventy-eight year old grandfather, I used to be embarrassed when he would send his martini to be remade not once, not twice but sometimes three times to get the perfectly chilled concoction of the gods. After an afternoon at Bar Keeper in Sunset Junction with owner Joe Keeper,
    I have seen the light in the art of cocktail mastery. My grandpa is of the Rat Pack generation and this is exactly the kind of ‘spirit’ Bar Keeper offers to the new generation and the ‘old’ pro with vintage glassware, shakers, cocktail recipe books, campy drinking games and even absinthe supplies.

    Joe sends out scouts to thrift stores and retirement communities hoping to score the perfect highball glasses, snifters, flasks or anything from the era gone by that revered the social cocktail hour as religious ceremony. He offers classes once a month where he invites a mixologist in and screens old drinking movies where you learn from Betty Davis or Clark Gable how to glamorously hold your martini glass without spilling its contents.

    So the next time you’re invited to a party that may be serving mixed drinks in red plastic tumblers, bring the host a set of vintage bar glasses from Bar Keeper to subtly impress the message that it’s not just what’s on the inside that counts…not when it comes to the glory of cocktails at least.
