We recently got to catch up with my friend Jesse Smyth of the Stubborn Nail who showed us around her (Super Secret) Speakeasy, made us a few drinks and chatted with us about how she got started in Bartending, how she had to immediately pivot her business due to COVID, what she's doing now, and what the future holds. For you longtime Barfly viewers, the Stubborn Nail will be familiar to you. Jesse graciously allowed us to film episodes there while my own kitchen was under construction and we had no space.
I met Jesse while we were both bartending at a bar in the Downtown Los Angeles Arts District called Tony's Saloon. It really took no time at all for us to be thick as thieves and really have some pretty Rip Roaring weekend nights behind the bar. Jesse went on to work at some of the best bar programs in the city, was a Bombay Most Imaginative Bartender finalist and it's been really cool to watch her define her own unique cocktail style. And I am not kidding when I say that each and every drink she conceives is goddamned delicious!
