A Great Drink
Is Never
Just a Drink.

I'm Josh Lopez, founder of BarProphet.

For most people, bartending is a job.

For me, it became a way of understanding people.

Over the years I've worked everywhere from neighborhood bars to one of New York City's busiest luxury cocktail programs. I've learned that the greatest bars aren't built by expensive spirits or beautiful rooms—they're built by people who care deeply about their craft and about each other.
