This Sober Bartender Runs One of New York City's Best Cocktail Bars, Slowly Shirley

Slowly Shirley is a new cocktail bar operated by mixologist Jim Kearns tucked away underneath another bar/restaurant he runs in the West Village, The Happiest Hour. Aside from his delicious and ever-evolving cocktail menu, an interesting element to him is that his is a sober bartender, something not seen to often.
