look at these two handsome fellas. oh my.

​

the baldy one is nate. He’s a fermanagh man. a father, a chess player, a baker, a martini drinker. he’s got two degrees, both pretty pointless. the man loves a book. and wanky bars. he fancies himself a genius, and can’t stop buying people drinks.

​

Back in Manchester, he learnt bartending from a wonderful human called Wendy and a legend called Bart. Fast forward a bit, and he’s opened a tonne of bars, and consulted across the world for independents and global hotel chains.

​

His own London venues have won a host of awards, and he occasionally writes controversial articles for industry magazines including the Financial Times. Two of which have got him barred from London institutions. Despite the blowback, he was definitely correct. He always is.

The slightly older stud is Shane Long. Otherwise known as Mr One Degree of Separation [if you don’t know him, someone you know does - I just made that term up especially for him - but it’s accurate].

​

It might be quicker, to list what he hasn’t accomplished. He’s got fingers in more pies than [insert joke here].

​

He founded and ran a beer brand to global success, with a brew pub that wins awards every bloody year. He then went and founded another one. And one for someone else. And consults for two of the biggest drinks companies in the world. And co-owns Ireland’s best cocktail bars.

​

He’s usually found in Cork, Dublin, or off-the-’dar in Kerry. This man knows everyone. And everything. He might be a wizard.
