The Speakeasy Celebrates Inaugural Bar Convent Brooklyn

Sexton-42-X2

The Bar Convent started as a small industry meeting in Berlin, but has grown into a trade show attracting over 13,000 professionals to the German capital. The show expanded to Brooklyn, NY in June 2018. Bar Convent Brooklyn connects people in the bar and beverages industry across the globe.

As stalwarts of the New York bar scene (and hosts of The Speakeasy here on HRN), Damon Boelte and Sother Teague covered the lead-up to the first edition of Bar Convent Brooklyn. Take a listen to their latest three episodes, featuring ultra-talented bar professionals, supported by The Sexton:
