Steve Schneider, founder of Employees Only Singapore (and a partner of Sip&Guzzle in NYC), unpacks the evolution of a bartending career, explaining why you don't often see lifelong bartenders behind the stick. Many don't leave the industry; they simply evolve into new roles, becoming bar owners, brand ambassadors, or taking on other positions within the drinks world.


His own journey is proof. What began behind the bar in New York's Employees Only eventually took him halfway around the world, culminating in becoming a bar owner in Singapore. For Steve, bartending isn't just a job — it's the first chapter of a career with countless directions to grow.
