Jaymee Mandeville at Drago Centro

In Bartender, DTLA on August 15, 2011 at 10:20 am

Jaymee

 

Head bartender Jaymee Mandeville at Drago Centro is there every night except Tuesdays and Sundays. She along with Beverage Director/ Sommelier Michael Shearin, have devloped seasonal cocktail lists that are very original. Yet there are always a number of classic cocktails on special that are great. And she’s more than happy to whip you up something to your taste or select a wine for you. And when I can’t think of something I want, she always has a mai tai for me.

Drago Centro is probably the restaurant/bar that I frequent the most.  With more than 40 check-ins according to foursquare, I’ve had a lot of cocktails from Jaymee. They’re very consistent.

The picture is from her guest stint at Michael’s Santa Monica.

George at Seven Grand

George has been at Seven Grand since it opened a few years ago. He’s absolutely my favorite bartender there. I recently went back to try the new cocktails. This was a Monday but usually George opens Wednesdays and Thursdays. He’s gone by 9 p.m. so catch him for happy hour. He’s occasionally there on Fridays and also Saturdays from 8 to close. This information was texted to me by another bar stalker so please call ahead to confirm.

Daniel at Bar | Kitchen

Daniel

Daniel works at O Hotel’s Bar | Kitchen on Saturdays and Mondays. He’s also at Playa.

Ask him to make you something with Fernet! Or Mezcal! Or well, anything. Pictured above is a beer & mezcal cocktail. It was quite a show when he swirled beer down a barspoon into the Collins glass and tapped the bottom of the glass with a wooden pestle.

Edit 7/18/11

Daniel is now at Bar | Kitchen Friday through Mondays. BK will be open on Sundays starting next month. Catch him at Playa Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Edit 9/26/11

Daniel is now only at Bar | Kitchen
