	Description:		At the end of an alleyway, behind a burrito shop, on a relatively unassuming street in Long Beach is one of the newest Tokyo style speakeasies outside of Japan. Kevin Lee, lead bartender of Tokyo Noir sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the impact of classics on modern bar programs, how to make a high concept cocktail bar accessible to the general public, and what exactly a Tokyo style food and beverage program looks like in the first place… and how to build one from the ground up. PLUS, Attaboy unionized. Greg and Sother break down the momentous news out of one of New York City’s premiere craft cocktail bars and what it could mean for the rest of the city, and the service industry at large..
