WITH MOSES GOMEZ
FROM OSOYAMI BAR AND GRILL

Moses Gomez not only tends bar at Osoyami, but he also is an instructor at a bartending school and is dedicated to the sport of what is known as flair bartending. Flair bartending is a way of entertaining guests with exciting bottle-flipping tricks and dazzling use of bar tools. (You can see a video of Gomez in action at metrohnl.com.)

WHAT IS YOUR MOST INTERESTING BAR TALE?

It’s hard to say. We deal with everything from people trying to dance on the bar naked, to people just trying to order things that we just don’t have but still insist we find it and serve it to them.

WHAT IS YOUR BEST BAR TIP?

The best thing if you come to the bar is to know what you want.

But if you don’t know what you want, it’s best to be open, because as a bartender, I’m trying to guide you through your experience to make it the best for you. We are actually trying to figure out the individual. Be it food or drink, we are figuring you out and lead you in the right direction.

WHAT’S IN YOUR LIQUOR CABINET?

Crown Royal, that’s it.
