The Buildout Podcast: Bar Bambi

This episode of The Buildout is brought to you by Farmer’s Gin. As a bartender, I get to taste a lot of gin, so I can be picky about what I offer my guests. Farmer’s Gin is one of those bottles I keep coming back to, because it delivers exactly what I’m looking for behind the bar. It’s clean, balanced, and makes a fantastic Martini, but it also shines in classics like a Negroni, Gimlet, or even an Alaska. What I really appreciate is how many different drinkers it appeals to. There’s enough juniper for London Dry fans, but also beautiful floral and citrus notes to win over those who prefer softer, more modern gins. It’s one of those bottles guests love because it just tastes great. If you care about quality and well-made cocktails, check out Farmer’s Gin. Follow them at @farmersgin or visit farmersgin.com.

Katie Renshaw loves being behind the bar. That passion has led her to become one of the best bartenders in the country, from winning World Class in 2019 to helming some of Chicago’s most acclaimed drinks programs.

But despite all of that success, she had never owned a bar of her own — until now. Bar Bambi is the culmination of Katie’s experience, personality, and creativity, a bar that takes drinks seriously without ever taking itself too seriously and one that quickly gained traction in Chicago and beyond.

On this episode of “The Buildout,” Katie joins Adam to discuss why she finally decided to take the leap into ownership, what it took to bring Bar Bambi to life, and what she learned from doing it all on her own.
