The Imperfectionists with Matthew Maddy and Milos Zica

How does a cocktail menu affect the layout of a bar? How does the floorplan inform your martini spec? These are questions that Matthew Maddy and Milos Zica, the Desinger and Beverage Manager of Williamsburg’s Bar Susanne have been puzzling out. They sit down to talk about designing a bar program almost from scratch, how you build a vibe and feel to a place, their love of raw bars, martinis and seafood towers, and how exactly one becomes a bar designer in the first place. PLUS, the robot bartenders are here and Greg is… unimpressed. Hear about the latest “tech” from Minneapolis/St. Paul airport as we kick off the Summer of Sherry! For real this time.
