Tom Waits loves beautiful melodies telling terrible things… and bars full of stories. Raymond Chandler considered bars as places dark enough to feel safe, bright enough to see trouble coming. For Anthony Bourdain, a good bar is a living room for the city. And we could go on…
Even if you do not believe (as I do) that cocktail bars are places where rules of time and space can be bent, where the most extraordinary encounters can happen, and where light wisdom flows as silky as a cocktail out of a shaker, it is hard deny that some cocktails are among the mont beautiful places on the planet.
And now, this book is there to confirm it.
