The Bar
Prior to The Bebedero, River Hawkins, managed the bar of a boutique resort in Yelapa, Mexico. While there, he toured mezcalarias, tequila distilleries, and agave fields, and shares with Charlottesville what he learned, as well as unusual ingredients discovered in his travels. Half-Mexican and with 20+ years of barkeep experience, River also offers tasting classes about the rich history, fascinating processes, and unique beauty in a liquor most associate with questionable decisions made at some poorly lit dance club.

River is also one of the world’s foremost experts on mezcal.
