HEY BARTENDER captures the global cocktail renaissance, going behind the scenes with unprecedented access to the world of the craft cocktail bartender, the "rock stars" of the bar world, and their domains.
Featuring some of the most famous bartenders from around the world, including Dushan (Employees Only), Jim Meehan (Please Don’t Tell) and Dale DeGroff (The Rainbow Room), the up-and-comers, trying to get their big break, and the neighborhood tavern owner just trying to hang on, HEY BARTENDER features interviews with the cocktail industry's most important and well-known bartenders, social critics, writers and chefs.
The film brings to life a movement at a crossroads. Will the bartender continue to follow the path of the celebrity chef, gaining respect and admiration as a skilled career profession or forever be seen as an unskilled stepping stone on the path to something else.
