Sites you should know

If you don't know Brian Rea, too bad for you. He knows as much about bars, bartenders, drinks, drinking, and drink memorabilia as any man alive. He worked among other places at the 400 Restaurant and the Little Club, was head barman at the “21” Club, and even went astray and owned his own restaurants in New York City. He's done it all, and knows it all (just ask him), and as far as I'm concerned, is one of the bar businesses keenest and funniest resources. Luckily, there's a way to get to know him - check Brian out here, and be sure to scroll a third of the way down the page for his gimlet-eyed view of pain in the ass moments at the bar. My hero.
