Behind every great bartender, server or chef is… an unreasonable number of books.
While the bottles usually get all the attention, the bookshelf behind our bar might be just as important. It’s where we turn for cocktail history, wine regions, food pairings, classic recipes, and the occasional answer to a question that sends us down a rabbit hole.
We’re lifelong students of food and drink, and these books are some of our favorite tools. They help us learn, improve, and keep bringing new ideas to Cellar House.
