Bartender Magazine: A Love Story Spanning Business and Life
Ray and Jackie Foley, the husband and wife team behind Bartender Magazine, have built a thriving publishing business that is truly a love story. Brought together by their mutual passion for cocktails, spirits, and bartending, they have worked side by side for over 35 years, aggressively selling advertising, writing content, and managing the production of the magazine.
From its humble beginnings as a quarterly publication with a circulation of 7,000, Bartender Magazine has grown to become the largest on-premise magazine in the world, with a circulation of over 150,000 copies. The Foleys' dedication and hard work have made Bartender Magazine the first true magazine for people who work on-premise, championing the hard work of pouring professionals and providing valuable content for the industry.
