On the bar: Alejandro Alvarez

When I go out in Boston, I often choose to sit at the bar because it is easier to meet and talk with people.

Over time, I’ve developed friendly relationships with a number of Boston’s bartenders and from time to time I like to feature them.  Today’s bartender is Alejandro Alvarez who works at one of my favorite places in the neighborhood, Stella.

If you are a fan of Stella, then you too probably know Alejandro, who has been working here since the spring of 2010. You may not know that he helps design their creative cocktail menu, which includes 20 new libations each season.  With the fall drink menu rolling out this month, be sure to come back and enjoy new drinks that will include blood oranges, sage, apples and cinnamon (obviously not all in the same drink).

You can find Alejandro at Stella’s front bar every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  Should you find yourself at Stella when Alejandro is working, please tell him BosGuy says hello and tip him generously.
