Rey Arcibal

La Valencia Hotel for 51 years.

By Lillian Cox

“The head bartender, Vince Clark, asked if I’d like to work behind the bar with him,” Arcibal recalls. “I started helping him, and took notes, and learned the job in three weeks.” Arcibal said as he got better, other bartenders recruited him to help on their shifts. He became a full-time bartender in 1966, popular with both guests and co-workers. Mario Delgado, head bartender across the street at The Spot, used to tend bar with Arcibal at La Valencia. "People come from all over the world to see Rey," he said. "Even if he hasn't seen you in three years he'll still remember your name and your drink, too. We all love him."

"THE WHALER"

Arcibal has a million stories.

“(Band leader) Harry James was divorced from Betty Grable and would come in and order a Ramos Gin Fizz on Sundays," he recalls.

Arcibal also remembers actor Raymond Burr, best known as attorney Perry Mason on television. "He ordered a dry martini. He had striking blue eyes and a good, solid voice.”

LA JOLLA, CA – La Valencia Hotel, overlooking the blue Pacific, has welcomed guests far and wide since December 15, 1926. The Whaling Bar, the centerpiece of the resort, opened later during World War II. Bartender Rey Arcibal has been an institution almost as long. He was hired March 15, 1960, the same week President Eisenhower endorsed the presidential candidacy of Vice President Richard M. Nixon.

When Pat Morita, star of The Karate Kid, entered the bar he ordered a Smirnoff on the rocks. “He said, ‘Have you seen Charles Coburn? I'm waiting for him,” Arcibal said. “Charles came down and Pat said, 'I want you to meet my good friend, 'Dr. Rey.' He'll take good care of you.' " Arcibal says the biggest tip he’s received was during the 1960s when the host of an after-hours party gave him $550, which by today's standards would be close to $4,000. On another occasion two men tipped him $500 they just made on the stock market. One of the kindest things that happened to Arcibel was in 1984 after he received a telegram that his father was gravely ill in the Philippines.

This year on March 15 marked Arcibal’s 51st anniversary. During his tenure he has provided five-star service to generations of American icons from Jack Lemmon and Eartha Kitt to Rod Stewart.

“Mr. Irwin said, ‘Do you have money?” he remembers. “I said, “I don’t think so, but I will gather it.”

Arcibal was 26, and about to be discharged from the U.S. Navy, when he walked into the hotel and asked General Manager Richard Irwin for a job. Because he had no bartending experience, Irwin hired him as a busboy and later moved him to a banquet waiter.

“He gave me a check for $1,000 and said he didn’t want me to pay it back,” Arcibal remembers. “He said, ‘If you need something, send a telegram and let me know.’ A customer said the same thing. That’s the reason I stay here.”

Irwin was persistent and ordered him to pinpoint the cost of the airfare.

1. MAKE A LIST OF YOUR ASSETS:

p sing rea nc ri ublicity about your bu s i n e ss

HOW to

YOUR BAR

What do you have, or what do you do, that differentiates yourself from other establishments? Maybe it’s that signature Patrón XO Cafe cocktail on your menu, or the 300 beers from around the world that you feature? Or it could be the nightly pool tournament upstairs, or your annual Super Bowl party, or how you serve vodka in glasses carved from cubes of ice. Did you leave the Wall Street grind to follow your dream to open a bar?…These little nuggets all have the potential to generate media interest.

2. CREATE PRESS MATERIALS:

Write a press release about your bar. Who owns it, how did it get started, what makes it unique, what can people expect when they step through the door? Sell the place, but keep the document to two pages. And invest in some professional photography; shoot some interesting photos both outside and inside the bar. These will always come in handy, for PR and other uses too.

by Seth Cohen

On an airplane recently, I took note of an article in the in-flight magazine

about new bars and restaurants in Dallas, as it happened that I was soon to visit that city and was looking for suggestions where to go out while I was in town. But what was it that set apart those five or six places mentioned in the story? Why were they written about when hundreds of other exciting bars also dot the Dallas nightlife scene, and were equally worthy of attention? The answer is very simple – PR. Retaining the services of a public relations agency can be expensive, to be sure, but it’s often worth the investment. Just remember that if you choose to hire PR professionals, find an agency or freelance PR people who will give you the focus you deserve. A nominal monthly outlay to a small specialty PR firm (one with relevant experience in restaurant and hospitality) will typically buy you more time and senior level talent than if you spent the same amount at a glitzy large agency that –let’s face it–is focused on their higher-paying clients. Of course it’s also possible to generate positive press for your bar without hiring a PR person. First thing is to spend some time preparing a PR strategy:

BARTENDER MAGAZINE

bartender.com

SUMMER 2011

3. WHO IS YOUR TARGET MEDIA?

You’ll need a media list, and without the database resources that PR agencies usually have access to, you’ll need to spend some time researching the right people yourself. Decide which publications you think will be interested to know about you – for example, local newspapers and magazines, national outlets, travel publications (like that airline in-flight magazine), hospitality trade media, and of course websites and online city guides. If you organize frequent special events, remember to also include outlets that publish calendar and event listings. Once you know which outlets you’d like to contact, then try to determine whom specifically at those media organizations to speak with. This isn’t always easy, but with some detective work, you can figure it out. Read those publications personally and look for similar story topics to see who wrote the article. Or look online or in the magazine masthead to see whom the editors are who are responsible for food, wine/spirits, entertainment, or lifestyle coverage. Don’t bother with publishers or account executives (their job is to sell ads); opt for the editors and writers.

4. PITCH A STORY:

Public relations professionals are salespeople – their job is to convince journalists to ‘buy’ the story they’re hawking. If you’re going to PR your bar, you need to develop that same mentality and prepare a compelling and well-constructed story pitch. As succinctly as possible, make a case for why they should write about you. Why would their readers care? Then fire away – make phone calls, send emails, and write a personal letter. Use your press release and photos to help support your pitch. Invite them over to have a beer. Be persistent, but know when to back off and move on to someone else if they truly aren’t interested in your pitch.

5. GOSSIP AND ENTERTAINMENT PRESS:

7. DON’T FORGET ABOUT OUT-OF-TOWN VISITORS:

Did a couple of NBA players stop in for a drink the other night? Maybe members of a well known European band were ordering pints of Bellhaven in the corner? Mention it to your local newspaper gossip columnist, or to the infamous New York Post Page Six column. Being known as a celebrity hangout is always good for business – but be careful of course, if your celebrity clientele wants to be anonymous, use your judgment on how much of this you do.

Unless you only want regulars in your bar (in which case why are you reading about building PR?), don’t neglect the opportunity to publicize your business to out-oftowners. In addition to targeting travel media, consider contacting the concierge desks at local hotels to encourage them to recommend your bar to people curious about local hotspots. Do the same with your local chamber of commerce or visitor’s bureau, which could potentially help you too the next time that a travel journalist writes about your city (as they often look to those visitor organizations for information about places to visit for their articles.)

6. BE OPPORTUNISTIC:

8. SOCIAL MEDIA:

Remember the media-dubbed ‘beer summit’ at the White House some time ago? During the time when that story dominated national news, a bar owner I know used the opportunity to create local news for his place. He creatively set out different beer bottles and invited his customers to vote on which beers President Obama would serve that day – and he invited a local TV station to come film a story about it. Local news outlets are always looking for ways to localize national and international news.

Of course any publicity effort should also include social media tools. At the very least, create a Facebook page and Twitter account to keep people informed about happenings at your bar, and encourage interaction. Remember too, the most important thing is to be prepared. The proactive ideas outlined above will help position you for potential PR coverage, but sometimes the best PR opportunities come unexpectedly and if you aren’t prepared to react and respond quickly with information, photos, and interview accessibility you might miss that chance for someone like me to read about you in that magazine in the plane’s seat-back-pocket.

DRINKING JAPAN

A Guide To Japan's Best Drinks and Drinking Establishments By Chris Bunting Tuttle Publishing, North Clarendon, VT â&#x20AC;˘ 802-773-8930 www.tuttlepublishing.com $24.95

Dan Searing is a rising star of the cocktail renaissance, a historian, and a partner in Washington, DC cocktail temple Room 11.The former journalist is also a co-founder of the DC Craft Bartenders Guild, whose mission is to preserve the history of bartending and provide education and training to the public.

Walking through Tokyo's Shinjuku district, author Chris Bunting was struck by the abundance of superb pubs and bars offering phenomenal selections of sake, Japanese whisky, bourbon, Korean makkori and wines, to name a few. The realization that exceptionally varied drinking opportunities are relatively commonplace in Japan sent him on a journey through the country's drinking haunts, breweries and distilleries that convinced him that Japan is one of the best places in the world to drink alcohol. DRINKING JAPAN features entries on 122 of the country's best bars, but it is also the first Englishlanguage book to attempt a comprehensive survey of the history and culture of Japanese alcohol, with detailed coverage not only of the well-known rice brew sake, but of much less explored traditions like shochu, awamori, beer, wine, and Japanese whisky. DRINKING JAPAN brings Japan's unique drinking scene to life and is essential reading for anyone interested in the evolution and current vitality of Japanese alcohol culture. 14

& A man was hanging onto a lamppost for dear life when an old lady walked by and said, "Why don't you take a bus home?" The man said, 'My wife would never let me keep it!"

He doesn't wear glasses, he just empties them!

"We are in such a slump that even the ones that aren't drinking aren't hittin.'" - Casey Stengel

Two men wandered into the New York subway by mistake. One said to the other, "I don't know who lives here, but I like his train set!" A man went into a tavern, put his head on the bar, and said, "Give me a scotch." The bartender said, "Man, you can't even raise your head." The man said, "OK, give me a haircut." A man noticed a sign on the window of a bar saying, "All the beer you can drink for one dollar." He went in and said, "That sounds like a good deal. I'll take two dollars worth." The little boy came home and smelled liquor on his mother's breath. "Why, Mother," he exclaimed, "You're wearing Daddy's perfume!"

Two Southern Gentlemen. One Original Idea. a manager at a local liquor distributor and a native of Honey Island Swamp, Louisiana. “You make some nice Southern wine,” Scott told Jim. “Now let’s make some Southern spirit.” That got the ball rolling. Both fiercely proud of their Southern roots, they were committed to making a product that represented what the South was all about.

othing is better on a hot, lazy summer day than sittin’ on the front porch, sippin’ a glass of sweet tea. Jim Irvin and Scott Newitt couldn’t agree more—as long as it’s sweet tea with a kick. Jim and Scott are the creators

“It doesn’t get more Southern than sweet tea,” said Scott. “As soon as we started talking about it, we knew this was a huge idea!” They also knew that it called for an equally inspired name. Scott recalled capturing fireflies in mason jars on hot summer evenings and always felt like they were magical creatures. The idea for Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka was born. Jim is in charge of what goes in the bottle. You’ll taste Jim’s commitment to handcrafted perfection in every sip. Scott,

“It doesn’t get more Southern than sweet tea.” of Firefly Sweet Tea Vodka, a Southern spirit that was so unique and tasty, it became an overnight sensation. Their passion for the South and all that makes it unique, and love for the business of making and selling wines and spirits are what brought Jim and Scott together in the first place. Jim moved to South Carolina’s Wadmalaw Island in 2000 and planted 2,700 muscadine grape vines to produce South Carolina wine. Jim was working every angle of the business—planting the vines, harvesting the grapes, even selling the wine, which is how he met Scott,

Please drink Firefly responsibly.

also known as “The Firefly Guy”, is responsible for sales and marketing. Neither one had any idea how overwhelming the response to Firefly Vodka would be. To keep up with the momentum they’ve created additional flavors, a ready-to-drink line, and another “original” – the first Skinny Tea Vodka. “It’s great to see folks from all over embracing this Southern spirit,” said Jim. “We couldn’t be more pleased with the reviews. Y’all keep drinking it and we’ll keep making it!” Firefly Distillery, Wadmalaw Island, S.C.
