You can catch Loren behind the bar every Sunday and Monday night!

As our Featured Bartender of the Month we sat down with Loren and asked her some questions:

How long have you been at New Street Lounge?

I’ve been working at New Street for almost a year but I’ve been coming to New Street as a customer for about 6 years.

When did you know you wanted to be a bartender?

I was asked once to bartend for a friend’s restaurant and fell in love instantly. I always loved working fast pace jobs.

What is your favorite cocktail to make and why?

I love to make any specialty martini, I love to try new recipes and make beautiful cocktails.

What is your least favorite cocktail to make?

I would probably say a Bloody Mary, but that’s because I don’t like to drink them.

What do you love most about working at New Street Lounge?

I love the customers, the regulars are my god friends and I love meeting new people and hear their stories.

How do you stay so calm and collected during busy shifts?

I just learned how to stop and take a breath, you can’t start to panic or it’s over from there.

What advice would you give anybody starting out as a bartender?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions, someone would much rather you ask them exactly how they want something made instead of making it wrong.

Come to New Street Lounge and get to Know Loren a Little Better! Every Sunday and Monday nights from 6:00-12:00, and most weekends as a customer!
