Merlin Griffiths Instagram – Our August issue sees the debut of Bar Magazine’s new feature, Hospitality Heroes. In this feature debut, we speak with celebrity bartender, @merlinfdc4, who shares a humbling story of his career in the industry.
Sitting down with Merlin, we learn about his early roots as a bartender, and how he climbed the ladder to ‘celebrity’ status since: “I started at a bar back in Soho, working in this funky basement dive bar called The Doghouse, in early 1996”, Merlin explains.
We also learn more about Merlin’s natural passion for hospitality, as he tells us: “It doesn’t matter what you’re serving, or where you’re serving it, it’s how you serve it and by extension, how you can make people feel.”
In the feature, Merlin provides more insight on his latest collaboration with @harrogatespring and their mindful drinking campaign: “Two-thirds (61%) of adults plan to drink alcohol in moderation by interspersing alcoholic drinks with alcohol-free alternatives. So a 0% cocktail, or simply having some water, is a great way for people to start their mindful drinking journey.”
