As craft cocktails continue to make a comeback in Michigan and across the nation, the Greater Detroit Chapter of the US Bartender’s Guild is holding it’s first major public event. “Hey Bartender,” a film documenting the comeback of the bartender and the rebirth of the cocktail, comes to metro Detroit for a one-night-only showing September 23 at The Maple Theater (4135 West Maple Rd., Bloomfield Hills) at 8 p.m.
The film features some of the world’s most renowned bartenders and sought-after bars, “Hey Bartender” takes you behind the scenes of busy, frantic nights for two cocktail artists as they strive to make their dreams become reality. An Official Selection of this year’s SXSW Film Festival, “Hey Bartender” has been generating buzz and sold-out crowds since its debut. This is the film’s only scheduled screening in Michigan.
Tickets are $10 for general admission and $15 for luxury seating (on a limited basis). The screening is open to the public. The 90-minute movie will be followed by a Q&A with director Douglas Triola. Joining the director is one of the film’s featured bartenders, Steve Schneider, Principle Bartender of Employee’s Only in New York City. Both Douglas and Steve will be in Detroit for the screening on behalf of the Greater Detroit Chapter of the USBG.
