MEET ADAM!

Adam Stein started bartending in 2011 in beach bars along the coast of Florida, but he really learned the art of cocktails when he moved to Portland in 2015. It was there that Adam got his first experience making classic and craft cocktails. From there, Adam moved to Los Angeles, California in 2018 and has worked at various fine-dining establishments, including Bacari. Currently, he works as the Beverage Director at The Alley Lounge in Culver City, a speakeasy-style cocktail lounge specializing in advanced, yet approachable, cocktails.
