Jason Steward has been in the service industry for almost 2 decades and has been involved with opening, managing, and owning many bars in Austin including J-Black’s, Kung Fu Saloon, Bungalow and Bar 2211. By the way, we recorded this episode at Bar 2211. We, along with his good friend and regular patron Patrick Brunson, talk about:
- His background, from dishwasher to owning a bar
- The process of opening, managing, and owning a bar: history on how these bars came about.
- His style and a typical day for him, as a manager/owner
- The concept behind Bar 2211 (2211 Webberville Rd)
Quote of the show: “I will take 100% credit for the Pickle Shot” – Jason Steward

- 70 different types of whiskey
