Excerpts from Google reviews of Drinkingz, which is now SipChat.
(meet your bartender)
I learned service in restaurants, then built my own bar.
Restaurants taught me pace and care, and I have run my own bar service since. SipChat is that experience, refined: a bar that arrives ready, a menu that fits your guests, and a bartender who takes the time to talk.
