The low hum of conversation, the clink of glass, and a citrus-slicked bar towel set the scene as you take a stool in a compact West Village space. Under warm light, Harry moves with practiced ease — showing tools, naming aromas, handing over a jigger so you can feel the weight of a proper pour. The room feels lived-in, part classroom, part small neighborhood bar.
