Famed Charlotte mixologist puts a new spin on cocktails at Goodyear House, Old Town Kitchen
Award-winning Charlotte mixologist Bob Peters has joined Built On Hospitality, the parent company behind The Goodyear House and Old Town Kitchen & Cocktails.
In his new role as beverage director, he’s put a fresh spin on cocktail menus at both restaurants, emphasizing fresh, seasonal ingredients and local spirits.
“My inspiration as a chef has always been to showcase simple ingredients with complex flavors, and Bob’s approach to cocktails mirrors that philosophy, making him the perfect addition to the Built On Hospitality team,” said Chris Coleman, chef and partner of Built On Hospitality.
Peters was the 2015 Global Bartender of the Year for The Ritz-Carlton Corp., and has been a featured mixologist at the James Beard House in New York City, Charleston Wine & Food and Atlanta Food & Wine Festival. He’s worked in beverage consulting and has earned awards including the North Carolina Bartender of the Year, and Charlotte Magazine’s BOB Award for Best Mixologist, among other accolades.
Restaurant cocktail menus he’s recently worked on include those at The People’s Market, Yunta and Broken Promises.
Peters said, “This really is a dream job for me. Chris and the team at Built On Hospitality have big dreams, and it’s an honor to stand alongside them and play a role in the way they are transforming our community through the art of entertaining. This is only just the beginning for us.”
