Had the opportunity to chat to another fantastic friend and hospitality entrepreneur, Kevin Demers in Montreal. He is the man behind award winning bars like The Coldroom, El Pequeno and Parliament along with much much more. Great interview about the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, business ownership and the rules through Covid in Montreal.  Share a dram with the hospitality industry’s top global talents: bartenders, venue owners, distillers and industry aficionados. Shawn Soole has lived, breathed, and imbibed hospitality for decades. Now, he delves into the advice, opinions, and provocative stories that are helping to define the creative, culturally-necessary space of ‘modern hospitality’—covering topics from front-of-house service, to back-end business operations, and every inch between. “Tales of the Cocktail” - Top 10 Best Broadcast or Podcast (2020).
