Introducing Joshua Quinn
Bartenders often hold the power to shape an evening, creating an atmosphere that keeps patrons coming back. Joshua Quinn, a bartender at The Page, exemplifies this role with his engaging personality and exceptional skills. Hailing from the vibrant city of New Orleans, Joshua has dedicated around seven years to mastering the craft of bartending, and his journey is as fascinating as the cocktails he serves.
A passion for mixology
Joshua’s passion for bartending shines through in every drink he creates. His signature cocktail, the Crown Peach Margarita, is a delightful concoction that showcases his innovative spirit. Inspired by the launch of Crown Peach whiskey, he decided to mix it with margarita mix—an unusual combination that quickly became a favorite among customers. Joshua humorously notes, “I’m not saying I invented it, but it’s rare to see those two mixed. Trust me, some will claim otherwise, but that’s our little secret.” His refreshing take on cocktails sets him apart, and patrons can’t get enough of his creations.
The personal touch behind the bar
What truly differentiates Joshua from other bartenders is his ability to forge personal connections. He believes that treating everyone like family is essential for building a loyal clientele. “I don’t just bartend; I love being a bartender. It’s not work when you’re surrounded by great music and amazing people,” he explains. This passion translates into a welcoming atmosphere at The Page, where visitors feel valued and appreciated.
Memorable experiences
Every bartender accumulates stories, and Joshua is no exception. He recalls the time during the Essence Festival in New Orleans when a customer, caught up in the lively spirit, removed his glued-down toupee to scratch his head. The unexpectedness of the moment had everyone laughing, showcasing how unpredictable and entertaining bar life can be.
Personal preferences and pet peeves
Like any profession, bartending comes with its quirks. Joshua has his share of pet peeves, notably when customers throw items to get his attention—a behavior he wishes patrons would avoid. On a lighter note, he finds it amusing when people mistakenly refer to Crown Apple as “Apple Crown.” These little nuances contribute to the unique experience of being behind the bar.
A glimpse into his off-duty life
When not mixing drinks, Joshua enjoys being a homebody and indulging in gaming. He’s a true enthusiast with nearly every gaming system available. His work schedule typically includes shifts from Thursday to Sunday, making it easy for patrons to catch him at The Page.
