Decades are marked by iconic fashions, chart topping songs, economic swings, and even by trends in cocktails. The days of disco are remembered fondly for fashion and music, but the drinks fell out of vogue and may not have carried the same sweet nostalgia as our favorite tunes and bell bottoms… until now. We’ve dug through dusty records, old magazines, and a few trusty memories to pull the most delicious drinks of disco past that are worthy of a renaissance. Think Harvey Wallbangers, Golden Cadillacs, and Snowballs. Maybe you remember them fondly, maybe you remember them not so fondly, but in the capable hands of today’s bartenders, old is new – and delicious – again. Don’t forget the cheese! We’ll have pre-disco and post-disco pairings from our market to garnish your evening.

Mikey Edwards spent his childhood in Southern Thailand, running from baboons, suckin’ mango seeds, and snacking on rambutans. One could say the jungle is in his bones. After a stint playing professional water polo in France he became best friends with the enigmatic Scotty Schuder and the two friends opened Dirty Dick, Paris’ first, and one of the worlds most beloved, tiki-trop bars. A recent transplant to SLC, Mikey spends his time slinging cocktails, doing Pete Maravich impersonations, finding bodies of water to belly flop into, and playing Bach on his classical guitar.
