Many of us in the bar business only mingle with attorneys when we are having legal troubles or serving a lawyer at the bartop. Which means that much too often bartenders are opening bars and entering business arrangements without someone in their corner handling the legal issues surrounding the paperwork.

Not only has Eun bartended at some of the best bars in the world, such as PDT and the Varnish, but he also has a law degree from UC Berkeley, which puts him in a unique position to look out for the working bartender.

Bartending at one of the top-ranked cocktail bars in the world can be a lot of pressure, particularly when it is is one that has as rich a history as the American Bar at the Savoy. So, to help us get a better understanding of what is like, we met with senior bartender and acclaimed author, Pippa Guy, who while not traveling the world and making drinks took the time to sit down with us and share her love for all things fizzy.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to bartend at your favorite theme park? If so, how does one even get their foot in the door? Do you haver regulars or is it all tourists?
