We’re a husband-wife team of cocktail nerds who started A Bar Above way back in 2013, dreaming of a website that would help make craft bar education accessible to everyone.

What started as a blog and YouTube channel quickly grew to include a podcast, online courses, and our very own custom line of barware.
