Andy Allison

Seeking part-time bartending work to return to a longtime passion. Started out behind a busy college bar and as a restaurant shift manager, then spent 20 years in product and go-to-market leadership. Kept the craft going through 7 years of hands-on mixology and bartending holiday events for 8 to 30 guests. Brings reliability, calm under pressure, and a genuine love of hosting.
