Reply to comment by defenestron in Closest thing to Eastern Standard? by Acceptable_Tourist_4

I'm the GM at Drink, but our food closes as 11pm Wed-Sat and 10pm Sun (closed Mon-Tues), so we're not the late night Mecca Eastern Standard was (food until 1:30). Expect the same level of good drinks and great hospitality but not equivalent (data: ESKD patron since 2007 and Drink patron since 2008).

Iā€™m kinda geeking out about getting a reply from Frederic himself.

Thanks for all you do, man! Drink is in such good hands with you. šŸ’œ

Thanks! Having Drink in my hands is a lot of pressure. What to keep and what to change with the time. How to get the staff to work to my ideals of what Drink is (or was since I frequented there a lot in 2008-2014) or to let them be themselves. It's been around for 14 years this month so it's a lot to take on.

This crowd used to visit the Hawthorne during this annual visit, but went to Drink earlier this week and said they had a fantastic time. Thank you for your hospitality, and for treating my treasured guests so well!

Awesome! Glad to hear. I was bartending only on Wednesday, working the door on Thursday, and floating as a manager/barbacking Friday and Saturday so there's a chance I greeted them or gave them water at some point at a minimum.
