Thank Devon Espinosa For Upgrading Kate Mantilini's Bar

Good news. Lauded barman Devon Espinosa — responsible for past drink programs at The Tasting Kitchen, ink. and Pour Vous — today kicks off day one of his new cocktail list at Kate Mantilini. His revamped bill of $12 drinks is inspired by the classics and "makes reference to Kate Mantilini's storied past and founders Hollywood legacy," says PR. Now there's Neve ice, artisan spirits, and fresh ingredients behind the bar, natch. Aside from drinks, management is also retooling the lounge area and will replace sofas with hightop cocktail tables. [~ELA~]
