Eating well, drinking better, one city at a time.

Part travel journal, part food diary, part bartender’s confessional. I eat, drink, and note my way through the world — one barstool and flavorful plate at a time.

the story

The Bartender’s Notebook is a running collection of stories, meals, drinks, and moments — told from the perspective of someone who's poured drinks, cleared tables, and chased flavor across continents.

There are no star ratings here. No best-of lists. No SEO-driven bullshit. Just raw observations from a bartender who fell in love with food, drink, and the art of being lost.

It’s about the meals you remember for years, the strangers who become friends over cocktails, and the kind of travel that leaves a mark on your soul (and occasionally your liver).

Come hungry. Drink slowly. Read with an open heart.

This notebook never closes.
