Brief  story  of  how  S.P.E.C.  Began....

Picture
On a chilly night in October while exploring Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, three bright young things found their way, with the help of insider tips from their friends, into a bar called Kelly's Lounge. Their auspicious discovery of the venue's chic interior – and its notable lack of Appletinis and Red Bull Cosmopolitans on the menu – coincided with their recent obsession with the television show Mad Men, a program that faithfully recreates the look & feel of Manhattan circa 1960, and their study of the amazing cocktail book, Meet Me in The Bar.

While waxing nostalgic for an era they had missed by a tragic mistake of fate and birth, and while sipping their sugar-rimmed sidecars, the trio longed to revisit this particularly elegant moment in history, and, in a burst of whiskey-infused inspiration, they figured out how it just might be possible.  And so SPEC was born.

Join us in celebrating a bygone era in which sipping a well-made martini was, for the cocktail class, simply de rigueur!
