The Beard Behind the Bar

After traveling widely and helping open bars and restaurants from Iowa’s prairies to California’s coasts, Jeff Naples returned home to Des Moines to explore farm fresh produce and incorporating it into an industry that is being overhauled by localism. With respect for the paragons of the cocktail renaissance and an intuitive eye towards far-out trends, Jeff creates exciting cocktails, ebullient atmospheres and original experiences in unlikely places. His passion for mixology and gastronomy shows in cocktail menus that tell an authentic and compelling story.
