Next week David Muhs is going to open his cocktail bar Monkey Thief for the third time. He sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the different incarnations of his concept, what he’s learned by opening the same bar three times in Hell’s Kitchen, and how the bar has been refined in the process. They also discuss the other concepts on that same street corner, including Rita’s a taco and margarita joint, Same Same Wine Bar and Sama Za, a pizza place that manages to pull of 90s nostalgia in a non-cringe way.PLUS Greg and Sother are safely returned from Tales! They talk about what they saw, what they learned, why their voices sound like late-stage Johnny Cash, and what sparked them at this year’s festival.Follow David at @muhsmanFollow Monkey Thief at @monkeythiefbarFollow Sama ‘Za at @samaza_nycFollow Same Same at @samesamewinebarLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!
