Since Daniel Hyatt left ~THE ALEMBIC~, there have been a few changes with the staffing. Gregory Quinn has become the new general manager and has a pair of intrepid bar managers now too: Danny Louie and Ethan Terry. Louie has been a bartender at Alembic for a long time, and Terry signed on after leaving Heaven’s Dog/AQ. The two will work together on crafting the cocktail list, though Terry’s role will be more operational. He’s spent the last three weeks working some bar shifts and will be transitioning into his more active role going forward. The two have worked together previously on their project Cocktail Lab and are excited to have the chance to rekindle their barmance. Rock on, guys, and we can’t wait to check out some of your concoctions.
