Garrett at 1886 Bar works on Wednesdays and Saturdays. He may pick up a shift here and there but definitely see him on those two days.
I found Garrett to be very personable. Perhaps because he’s also an actor but he had an incredible memory for cocktails and their history. He has been bartending over 10 years.
Check out my review for 1886 for more ideas for custom cocktails if you’re feeling adventurous and going off-list.
