Surviving the NYC Reset| Victoria Rivera on Hidden Pearl, Puerto Rico & Bartending Growth
Sep 23, 20261h 16m
Send us Fan Mail What happens when you are a top-tier bar manager, but the toughest market in the world forces you to completely reinvent your career? In this episode of Bar Talking Talking Bar, we host Victoria Rivera, Co-Head Bartender at Hidden Pearl in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. From her early roots in a family food truck to rising as a standout bartender and manager in Puerto Rico, Victoria's trajectory was halted when Hurricane Maria left zero local job security. Forced to return to NYC, she faced the ultimate industry test: humbling her ego, accepting entry-level steps, and relearning the technical landscape of the New York cocktail scene. Today, she is seasoned bartender with so much experienced that she jokingly call herself a "Beverage Designer," proving that true resilience isn't just about survival—it's about intentional evolution. ☕️ SUPPORT INDEPENDENT MEDIA: We are a 100% self-funded podcast highlighting the human stories shaping global bar culture.

Episode #56
He Booked a 3-Week Vacation. That Was 15 Years Ago. He Never Left, and He Never Looked Back
Sep 2, 20261h 4m
Send us Fan Mail Some of the best STORIESin this industry start BY ACCIDENT. RYAN GARRISON came to NEW YORK CITY for a three-week VACATION. That was fifteen years ago. He never left. Before NYC, Ryan's idea of a drink was draft beer or a vodka Red Bull back home in Oklahoma — nothing close to a proper cocktail. This city changed that completely. What started as a short trip turned into a full reinvention, and Ryan found himself pulled into the craft cocktail world, eventually going deep enough to create his own amaro recipe from scratch. That's not a small leap. That's someone who fell in love with a craft and never looked back. Today you can find Ryan behind the bar at SUGAR MONK in HARLEM and BITTER MONK in Industry City, and repping ATHERAS SPIRITS as brand ambassador. In this conversation, Ryan gets honest about what it actually looks like to build a career in an industry you didn't grow up around — no formal training, no early exposure to cocktail culture, just curiosity, hard work, and a city that gave him room to grow. This episode is about reinvention. It's about how a short trip can turn into a completely different life when you stay open to it. And it's a reminder that some of the most passionate voices in hospitality didn't start with a plan — they just said yes and figured it out along the way. If you’re into hospitality industry insights, this episode is for you!

Episode #55
An NYC Bar Insider on What Makes a Venue Truly Unforgettable
Aug 26, 20261h 21m
Send us Fan Mail What is the real secret to building a bar that people actually love and return to week after week? In this episode, NYC hospitality veteran Nikolas Vagenas (co-owner of Williamsburg's Mr. Melo) breaks down the business psychology of customer retention, the global rise of vinyl listening bars, and how to build a sustainable, zero-waste cocktail program that stands out in a crowded global market. ABOUT THE GUEST & EPISODE Some bars serve drinks. Others make you feel like you belong. Nikolas Vagenas has spent his career building the second kind. Tucked into Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Mr. Melo is more than a listening bar — it's a space built on New Greek cuisine, sustainable compost cocktails, and genuinely good music. But underneath all of that is something Nikolas cares about even more: making people feel seen. With over a decade in elite NYC hospitality — helping open, run, and consult on iconic spots like Lullaby, Bar Meridian, Apotheke, Babel Loft, and Gordos Cantina — Nikolas isn't trying to reinvent the wheel. He understands that the job was never about chasing temporary trends — it's about protecting what hospitality has always truly meant. In this masterclass conversation, he breaks down how to lead with inclusivity, empathy, and genuine care as an industry standard. Every bar across the globe shares the same bones — glasses, bottles, a bar top — but what makes each one unforgettable is everything around that: the ambience, the price point, the food, and the people behind it. Nikolas is one of the definitive voices carrying that torch, and this episode is a universal reminder of why consistency matters so much in an industry that's always changing. If you’re into hospitality industry insights, this episode is for you! COMMENT — what makes a bar feel like home to you?

If you haven't watched Part 1 yet, go do that first — but if you're ready, let's dive back in with Tom Richter and Sother Teague. Tom's spent decades chasing "fresh and delicious" — from learning at Sasha Petraske's side to building his own tonic empire with Tomr's Tonic. Sother’s spent his career behind the bar, behind the mic, and behind the people coming up under him at Amor y Amargo. Neither of them is done growing. That's the whole point of this conversation.

Two Legends, One Table: Tom Richter & Sother Teague on their legacy Behind the Bar (Part 1)
Aug 12, 20261h 8m
Send us Fan Mail This is the episode we've been waiting to release. Two of the most respected names in NYC's bar industry, in ONE room, sharing decades of hard-earned wisdom. This is PART 1 of a special two-part conversation you don't want to miss. Tom Richter has spent years shaping the liquor industry from the inside out. He worked hand-in-hand with the legendary Sasha Petraske as part of the opening bar staff at The John Dory Oyster Bar and Milk and Honey NYC. He went on to become Head Bartender at The Beagle, and later joined Megan Dorman at Dear Irving. He's also the creator of Tomr's Tonic, a handcrafted quinine tonic that launched an entirely new beverage category — now distributed across the U.S., Europe, Hong Kong, Australia, and Canada. Sother Teague is Beverage Director at Amor y Amargo, NYC's bitters and amaro mecca, host of the podcast Speakeasy on Heritage Radio Network. He's Wine Enthusiast's Mixologist of the Year, former president of the NYC chapter of the USBG, and author of I'm Just Here for the Drinks. Beyond bartending, Sother has been a professional chef, culinary instructor, and mentor to countless industry professionals. This conversation dives into what it REALLY takes to build a lasting legacy in the bar industry — the mentorship, the risk-taking, the innovation, and the relentless passion required to go from bartender to industry icon. Whether you're a bartender, industry professional, or cocktail enthusiast, this two-part series is packed with knowledge you won't find anywhere else.

FAQs

Every question we get asked before
someone starts their trial.

If you have a concern about deliverability, AI quality, data privacy, or whether this will actually work for your specific situation, it's probably answered below.

What is the difference between Founder Solo and Founder Pro?

Founder Solo gives you 50 AI pitches per month using the credit model (Standard pitches cost 1 credit, Enriched pitches cost 2). Founder Pro raises that to 200 credits per month and adds full Booking Probability access, unlimited Magic Match, Apollo enrichment credits, and data export capabilities. Both plans use the same credit system, so you can stretch your monthly budget further by using Standard-mode drafting.

How do agency tiers work?

Agency tiers have no base fee. You pay per managed client and per talent profile. Agency Standard is $199 per client per month; Agency Pro is $399 per client per month. Both add $39 per talent profile per month. Your own team's user seats are always free.

What is a talent profile?

A talent profile represents one person (founder, executive, or spokesperson) you are booking onto podcasts. It includes their bio, topics, headshots, and outreach history. Team plans include 5 profiles; agency plans are pay-as-you-go.

Can I switch plans later?

Yes, at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades apply at the end of the current billing period. Contact support if you need help migrating between plan families.

Do you offer a free trial?

Every paid plan includes a 15-day free trial. Your card is saved at signup but you will not be charged until day 16. Cancel any time from your dashboard.

What happens if I cancel?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. No charges after that. Your data is retained for 30 days in case you reactivate.

Is the 20% annual discount automatic?

Yes. Select Annual on the pricing toggle and the discounted price is applied automatically at checkout. The annual price shown is the full year cost.

What if I have more than 50 profiles or 20 clients?

That is our Enterprise tier. Contact our sales team and we will build a custom plan with volume pricing, a dedicated account manager, and SLA guarantees.
