Leeds bartending
Scott Tyrer
'Everyday is a school day' is the motto Scott Tyrer has stood by for the entirety of his professional career in the north of England. Though still a fairly new player on the mixology scene this motto has yet to lead him astray. Having cut his teeth in nightclubs in Liverpool and graduated to mixology focused bars in Leeds, Scott’s persistent search for knowledge has led him to Smoke Stack and Sandinista. Scott embodies the qualities of a great all-round bartender: the ability to make fastidiously crafted cocktails, at speed, while having a hell of a good time.

Hereditary bias
17-02-2011 | Category: Spirits & Cocktails OpinionsWorking the bar one night and this guy comes in that I’ve seen before a couple of times, he tends to be a little bit loud and garish, taking the notoriety of being part of the bar ‘scene‘ too far, we all know the type. » More
'Molecular' mixology?
04-01-2011 | Category: Cocktails OpinionsWas it not a great way of extending the boundaries of flavour and the beverage experience as a whole? Now however, I cant help but think its all gone a bit ‘samey’. » More
