Episode #148 - Peter Vestinos of Bisous & Sparrow

Peter Vestinos is the driving force behind Bisous and Sparrow, two of Chicago’s most celebrated cocktail destinations, where his signature mix of elegance and intention defines the drinking experience. In addition to helming these standout bars, Peter is also the hospitality coach and cocktail program curator behind BarMedic, the consulting company through which he’s shaped dozens of restaurant openings across the country. He joins us with a bottle of Freezer Door Martini in hand to share his journey—from moonlighting as a bartender to designing his first cocktail menu and building bars that feel like home. This week, we’re talking ice theory, essential glassware, hospitality coaching — and so much more!
