ABOUT US
Who We Are
At MyBartender, we've built our reputation on decades of experience behind the bar, and now we're bringing that expertise to you in a whole new way. After years of crafting cocktails and curating bar programs, we're launching a platform dedicated to recommending the spirits we trust, love, and believe in.
With over 40 years of combined experience in bartending, bar management, and bar ownership, we know what makes a spirit exceptional. We've tasted hundreds of bottles, built countless cocktail menus, and learned which brands consistently deliver quality, character, and value. Now we're putting that knowledge to work for you.
Our bottle recommendations aren't just another list. They're a carefully curated collection of spirits we genuinely stand behind. Every bottle we recommend has earned its place through our rigorous standards: exceptional taste, honest pricing, and the kind of quality that makes a difference in your glass.
Whether you're a home bartender building your collection, a seasoned enthusiast seeking something new, or someone who simply wants to know they're buying a great bottle, we're here to guide you. We offer personalized recommendations, honest insights, and the kind of expertise that only comes from years spent perfecting the craft. When you're ready to purchase, we connect you with our trusted licensed retail partner who handles all sales and delivery.
Our Story
MyBartender was founded in 2020 by Paul Kushner and Brian Nagele, two veterans of the food and beverage industry who've spent their careers immersed in the world of spirits. Starting as an online platform sharing cocktail recipes and mixology insights with over 1 million monthly visitors, we've grown into a trusted resource for drink enthusiasts worldwide.
Now, we're taking the next step. Our bottle recommendations represent the natural evolution of our mission: connecting people with exceptional spirits through honest guidance and expert curation.
