The second time I went to The Melting Pot, we got there a little early, so we went to the bar. We were greeted by a sportily dressed, and very pleasant bartender, John. Little did we know we were in for a treat.  John is a purveyor of pre-prohibition era drinks, which are enjoying a resurgence as of late. A Mixologist., in current parlance, although John tells me he’s a bartender, and that anyone who needs a more elevated title is forgetting that the customer is what matters.
