Don't let his frequent smile and jokes lead you to underestimate him; this man takes bartending very seriously.
Kent is part of Neyah White's excellent team at Nopa in San Francisco, which is where we first received his jovial attention and delicious drinks.
He also works as a consultant for clients such as aspiring new standard The Association in Los Angeles, for whom he is already earning praise for his classics-driven direction. With terms like "reverential" being applied in the press to their menu, hardcore cocktailians are advised to sit up and take notice.
We're very pleased to see him sharing his knowledge in the southland, but are glad he's usually to be found conveniently within a mile of us, ready to brighten our evenings.
