Show Notes
Inspired by an aside on a recent Cocktail College episode, Adam and Zach discuss Gus' Sip & Dip, a Chicago bar that only offers one spirit in each category, but also sells all of its cocktails for $12. Eliminating the back bar has allowed them to concentrate their purchasing power on a few key bottles, getting them the best price they can and then letting them pass the savings on to their guests. Is this a model that other bars could copy or do we lose something valuable when guests can't choose their brand of spirit?
