BackBar is a publication about drinking well. Not aspirationally. Not performatively. Actually well — with knowledge, with intention, with some sense of what's in the glass and why it matters.
It's written from behind the bar, which is a particular vantage point. You see things from there that you don't see from a barstool. The choices made before service. The standards kept or quietly abandoned. The difference between a bar that cares and one going through the motions.
