Grant McCloskey

Grant McCloskey is currently the bar manager at The Aristocrat, a craft cocktail bar located just off Main Street in Columbia. His career started at Cafe Strudel in West Columbia where he discovered his interest in craft cocktails. Following a move to Austin, he cut his teeth in high-volume craft at Ah Sing Den, a must-go when visiting the ever-so-weird city of Austin. There he learned a great deal about the classics, modern twists, and the skills that are prevalent in modern bar programs. You can find Grant behind the bar on almost any given night at The Aristocrat where he is proudly and gratefully bringing the skills learned in Austin back to his hometown.
