Featured Bartender Summer 2024: Steve Schenider

An Interview with Steve Schneider

by Ryan Foley

“The bar staff here, I tell them many times. I hire them for them. I say to them that I don’t want them to be a bunch of me’s. ‘I want you to be you.’ I like to see bartenders grow into their own and be their own person.”

—Steve Schneider

Our cover feature for Summer is Steve Schneider, the co-creator of Sip & Guzzle in NYC. While BARTENDER® has known Steve for several years, it has been an absolute honor and pleasure getting to know him and his team better, and we’re excited to share more with you here.

Steve started in hospitality in 2003 while he was stationed in the U.S. Marine Corps in Washington, D.C., to make some extra money on the weekends. Steve quickly realized that the world of hospitality was exactly where he needed to be. While in the Marines he suffered a head injury and was honorably discharged but knew he was good at being behind the bar and could make this a career. From D.C. he moved back home to Bergen County, New Jersey, where he ended up running the drink program at Elysian Café in Hoboken (where Steve now has a partnership stake!) From there he was recruited at Employees Only in NYC where Steve “found people that were doing exactly what I wanted to do.” He became one of the principal bartenders, then the bar manager, which as he says, “prepared me for my ultimate goal…being a bar owner.” In 2016 Steve opened Employees Only in Singapore. “I put all the money I had in there too, so I was also an investor. I’ve been saving for years, and it was a good bet. It was a very successful project. It still is a successful project. Then that allowed me to go to different parts of the world and open up places.”

These experiences and global travels allowed Steve to not only become an amazing bartender and bar owner, but also mentor. Fast forward a full 21 years after Steve first started bartending…he opened Sip & Guzzle! Steve is a family man now and loves being able to work at Guzzle and then head home to his wife and daughter.

We are so happy to have Steve on the cover of BARTENDER® Magazine and will always have a door open for him and his team, he is truly mentoring many of the next-generation of top bartenders and future bar owners and thank him for all the love and support he has shown everyone around the globe.

  • Coconut Washed

—Steve Schneider and Ben Yabrow

 

Editor’s note: We’ve known and respected Steve for many years, and our recent visit to Sip & Guzzle only reinforced what we already knew, he is driven by his unsatiable commitment to hospitality, and to the guest experience. He’s also a mentor and a champion of those who work for him, it’s very apparent the sense of teamwork and comradery among the entire team at Sip & Guzzle.

Summer 2024 Featured Bar: Sip & Guzzle, NYC

/in , , ,

For 41 years, 29 Cornelia Street in New York’s West Village housed the Cornelia Street Cafe, and now is home to one of New York’s hottest new bars, Sip & Guzzle. It’s an incredible two-level cocktail bar which industry veterans Steve Schneider (who graces the cover of this issue) and Shingo Gokan opened in January this year to offer guests an immersive “sip” and “guzzle” experience. The top floor, Guzzle, is run by Steve, while the bottom level, Sip, is overseen by Shingo. Both are longtime friends and partners who understand each other’s styles and operate another bar together in Shanghai called The Odd Couple, which has been open for almost six years.

Explaining the concept, Steve says both of the bars, Sip and Guzzle, work in tandem. “Sip & Guzzle, it’s not about the Guzzle bar or the Sip bar. It’s about the full experience. And I think our guests, when they get a chance to experience the whole thing, I think they get the most out of it.”

Guzzle, where Steve spends his time, is exactly the style of bar in which Steve likes to drink.

“I like to drink classics and flavors that you crave, like strawberries, peaches, pecans. And Japanese flavors like yuzu and lychee. Things that people know, and drinks you already love, but with different twists on them,” he says.

The cocktails at Guzzle are “clean, cold, prepared quickly and well executed,” says Steve. They’re twists on a classic and each has a story. Steve likes to call the cocktails “comfort classics” like the one we chatted over during a recent visit with Steve, called the “Miami Vice Negroni.” The cocktails at Sip & Guzzle were all created in partnership with members of the bar team, and in the case of this drink Steve says he had originally set out to make a strawberry Negroni, but Ben Yabrow, the head bartender at Sip suggested to rinse it in coconut oil and make it a “Miami Vice” version. So that’s what they did, and the result is nothing short of incredible. To prepare it, they start by making a traditional Negroni. Then, Steve says, “we cook it in a sous vide for a few hours with strawberries. And then once it’s cooked, we put coconut oil in it, and we freeze it overnight, and skim off the fat.” The cocktail is served beautifully, yet so simplistic in a rocks glass with a large cube that has a strawberry stamp on it. They also feature a Margarita variation that’s made with Yuzu and Shiso. Other cocktails include a lychee Martini and a cold brew Martini, just to name a few.

THAT’S WHAT’S HAPPENING UPSTAIRS AT GUZZLE. NOW LET’S GO DOWN TO SIP…

“You go downstairs and it’s really sexy and beautiful and it’s a really cool room. It’s sit-down only, it’s intimate. And all the drinks down there take days to prepare ahead of time. You know, lab-driven drinks, adventurous cocktails,” Steve says about Sip’s amazing modern mixology experience.

Sip & Guzzle is everything a bar should be, and that starts with the people at the top, Steve and Shingo.

Why Jason Kosmas

Jason Kosmas is not just any bartender; he embodies the essence of what it means to be behind the bar. With a career that has spanned over two decades, Jason has honed his craft to perfection at the renowned Employees Only bar in New York City. His approach to bartending is both scientific and personal, blending technical skill with a profound understanding of people.

In His Own Words:

“There are different parts to being a great bartender. 1) The Mixologist, which is like the mad scientist who knows all the recipes. 2) The Sage, which is the people person. For example, on my first day behind the bar at age 21, I had to coach a 39-year-old woman who was asking me if she should marry this guy she’s been dating for 12 years. 3). The ‘Urban Shaman.’ People will just turn to you and ask you the name of a song that’s playing. Bartenders have so much useless information. 4) The Rock Star. You have to have a presence and be someone who people look toward, in a sense. There is a Tom Cruise [from the film Cocktail] aspect to all of it. Not that I’m juggling and stuff like that.”

As a mixologist, Jason’s knowledge of recipes and techniques is unparalleled. His best drink, the Manhattan, is a testament to his skill and creativity. However, it’s his ability to be a sage—offering advice and listening to customers—that truly sets him apart. Whether helping a customer decide on a major life decision or identifying a song playing in the background, Jason’s versatility shines through.

Jason’s presence behind the bar is magnetic, embodying the “rock star” aspect of bartending. While he may not be juggling bottles like Tom Cruise in “Cocktail,” his charisma and expertise draw people in, making him a beloved figure at Employees Only.

SAMMY’S BEACH BAR RUM AND IMPERIAL BRANDS STRIKE STRATEGIC NEW NATIONAL SALES PARTNERSHIP

/in , ,

Imperial Brands, the US importer and marketer of Sobieski Vodka, announced today that they have signed an agreement with Sammy Hagar’s newest premium spirit, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum. Under the terms of the agreement, which took effect February 1, 2014, Imperial Brands will assume all sales responsibility in the US and Canada for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame® artist and entrepreneur’s award-winning premium silver rum.

“Our agreement with Sammy combines two powerhouse organizations to give consumers exactly what they want today in premium rum,” said Chester Brandes, CEO of Imperial Brands. “Judging by his success with Cabo Wabo, Sammy knows how to create and market great brands, and with our recent success at bringing Sobieski Vodka to a million cases faster than any other marketing and sales organization, this partnership is a win for everyone.”
“I couldn’t be more excited about working with Imperial Brands,” said Sammy Hagar. “Together, we’ve got a team in place with a proven track record of success – and we’re all excited to take Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum to a national audience.”

After successfully conquering the tequila market with the Cabo Wabo brand, Sammy Hagar, a part-time Maui resident, maintained his “act local” philosophy, partnering with Mark Nigbur, one of Hawaii’s finest Master Distillers and Stephen Kauffman, to create a world-class premium silver rum made from Maui-grown sugar cane. Produced using pure first-growth and first-press sugar cane from Hawaii, and using a unique distillation process, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum is one of the most flavorfully smooth rums in the world. As Sammy says in one of his songs, “one sip and you’ll surrender,” but how you enjoy it depends on the moment. Whether sipped over ice or in your favorite mixed drink, Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum was created to complement Hagar’s beach all day to party all night lifestyle. Sammy’s Beach Bar Rum (40% ABV) retails for $21.99 for a 750ml. Additional information may be found at www.sammysbeachbarrum.com.

First Ever Woodford Reserve Room Opens at Fort Knox

First Ever Woodford Reserve Room Opens at Fort Knox

The Woodford Reserve Room Donates Proceeds to Army Emergency Relief Fund

May 15, 2013, Louisville, Ky. – Woodford Reserve® announces the opening of the first ever Woodford Reserve branded room in the Army at Fort Knox. On May 15th, The Woodford Reserve Room was revealed at the Saber and Quill Club at Fort Knox during an opening ceremony and an evening reception.

“Even though Fort Knox is an Army installation, we really consider ourselves part of the community and the Commonwealth,” said Fort Knox Garrison Commander Colonel Bruce Jenkins. “It’s an honor to have an important piece of Kentucky heritage – bourbon – showcased here on the installation.”

The grand opening included a ribbon cutting followed by a celebration offering a live band on the verandah, complimentary hors d’oeurves, and tastings of Woodford Reserve and Woodford Reserve Double Oaked. In addition, a limited number of event-specific, commemorative Woodford Reserve engraved bottles were sold to the first 100 guests with all proceeds benefiting the Army Emergency Relief Fund, a fund to help active duty soldiers who are in need of financial assistance. The room reflects Woodford Reserve’s image with copper walls, barrels around and above the bar, and images from the distillery at every turn.

“Over the past 20 years, Brown-Forman has supported our troops and developed a strong partnership with Fort Knox which makes The Woodford Reserve Room an ideal and appropriate addition to the army base,” said Joe Bollinger, Brown-Forman’s Director of Military and Transportation. “The goal of The Woodford Reserve Room is to provide a beautiful and comfortable facility for our troops to host meetings and social gatherings in the hopes that they will also gain a greater appreciation for bourbon country and the Woodford Reserve brand.”

To further the room’s presence, Brown-Forman plans to utilize the talents of Woodford Reserve’s Master Distiller, Chris Morris, to offer tastings as well as and to host Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) trips to the distillery throughout the year. The hope is, with the many troops who come through Ft. Knox as a duty station or for training, that they will take away a little piece of bourbon country and Woodford Reserve with them.

“The Woodford Reserve Room is a great addition to the installation’s selection of recreational opportunities,” Col. Jenkins also commented. “It’s just one more example of our dedication to improving the quality of life and providing top-notch recreation opportunities for our Soldiers and Family members.”
