Craig Schoettler Wire

Craig Schoettler, who was let go from Grant Achatz and Nick Kokonas' Chicago bar the Aviary a few months ago, is now tending bar at Drumbar at the Raffaello Hotel. He talked to Time Out to talk about the split from the Aviary, and his new gig: "It's more about bridging the gap from Aviary to the conventional-style bar...and I don't want it to be pretentious at all. If you come in on a Saturday at one o'clock in the morning and want a vodka soda, I'll make a vodka soda." [TOC]
