Bar & Restaurant Consulting

The Cocktail Guru will elevate your establishment’s beverage program to artistry with thoughtful drink design, seasonal and fresh ingredients, and comprehensive training programs.

With profitability in mind, we work with you to develop a sustainable and approachable program.

Hospitality is the name of the game, first and foremost.

Cocktails are works of Art.

Since 2006, our experienced team of Cocktail Gurus, led by industry veteran Jonathan Pogash, has been assisting bars, restaurants, and hotels step up their drinks game with a focus on craft cocktails, the classics, and non-alcoholic selections.

We also build world class wine and beer programs achieved through decades of wine and beer experience, thoughtful consideration, and a firm understanding of each venue’s themes, demographics, and challenges.

Since our revamped beverage program took effect, we have seen a significant uptick in beverage revenue: a 51% increase since the year prior.

Robin Kirk, CEO, Scout Hotels

We hired Jonathan (and The Cocktail Guru) to help us develop a cocktail menu and train us and our staff for our new restaurant. Jonathan created a delicious and unique signature cocktail list for us, assisted with all steps of setting up and stocking our bar, and provided invaluable information on the history of spirits. The training our staff received was incredibly beneficial for insuring that we are creating proper craft cocktails. We are very glad we found Jonathan and would hire him again in a heartbeat!
