Today, we celebrate with tropical drinks behind an art gallery wall, as we’re at Callisto in Bentonville and talking with the VERY engaging Gabe Barrett, who is part-owner and the beverage director, but before we talk with Gabe?!?!
FOOD NEWS!!!
Bentonville’s Callisto is a family affair. Gabe and Izaak Barrett came from the Phoenix area to start Callisto with their Uncle Braxton, who grew up in NWA. Gabe had an early introduction into what a speakeasy was, and it happened on accident on his 21st birthday. He’ll tell you the story. Also, if you’ve been there, you know that you enter through an art gallery called the Midnight Gallery. It was almost something else, and Gabe will tell us how the speakeasy entry would have been different. Finally, Gabe will get into some elaborate drinks, including how they make their own non-alcoholic rum. That’s episode 100, here on the Flavors of Northwest Arkansas.
