A HUGE congrats to our founders, Travis Nass and Amanda Gunderson, on being named Best U.S. Bar Mentor at this year’s Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards. 🏆

Throughout their careers, Travis and Amanda have believed that the best way to grow this industry is by investing in its people creating space for others to learn, find their voice, and build careers they’re proud of.

To everyone who has trusted them, taught them, challenged them, and grown alongside them thank you. They would be the first to say this honor is shared with the incredible hospitality community that has inspired them every step of the way.

We’re so proud to celebrate this well-deserved recognition and grateful to everyone who has been part of their story. It means more than words can say. Congratulations, Travis and Amanda! 🥂
