Join us on the Electric Theory Podcast as we explore The Branca Room, a speakeasy in Bishop Arts, Dallas. Our guests, Brian O'Malley, the lead bartender and "Mixed Drink Historian," and James, the bar owner, and Amari spirit maker, share their experiences and insights.

They discuss integrating technology in the food and beverage industry, managing difficult patrons, and de-escalating bar conflicts. James also shares his journey as a sober bar owner, overcoming the obstacles of working in the industry without knowing English. He decided to learn how to make his own spirits, and to this day, The Branca Room is one of only two bars in Dallas that creates its own spirits.

Tune in for an engaging conversation that blends innovation, and heartfelt stories from the world of hospitality.
