Recent years have brought forth a shift in the culture surrounding bars, cocktails and attitudes toward drinking (and not drinking). And it has created an increased interest in low-proof and no-proof cocktail options.
This week on the podcast, we’re talking with Zoe Lomenzo of The Counter Day Bar, a beverage destination that specializes in zero proof offerings. Not unlike its sister business, Discourse, The Counter Day Bar aspires to break the usual molds and exceed expectations for no-proof cocktails.
During our conversation, we chat about Lomenzo’s career and her personal experience moving from a traditional bar environment to a no-proof venue. Along the way, she offers us a peek inside the creative minds of the folks behind the new Day Bar, the philosophies that guide their work and the experience guests can expect when they visit.
