Find out why Michael prefers free pouring over jiggers, and how it changes the drink making process. Why is it so hard to get a good cocktail at a sports bar? Why do some “cocktail bars” frown upon people ordering vodka sodas?

“[With Ward III], we wanted to see what would happen if journeymen bartenders opened the bar they’ve always wanted.”

“We’re not trying to be all things to all people, but to me the word bar implies that you can get a cocktail.”

“Free pouring is a very interesting art…it’s a matter of training.”
