Travis Reese of Saint House Rum Bar

Captain Jack Sparrow might have asked with great alarm, “Why’s the rum gone?,” but we surely didn’t run out of rum during this live broadcast from Saint House Rum Bar!

John Farlow, Karl Goranowski, Nicole Flowers, Travis Reese & Matt Russell

Our celebrity co-host this week was fellow foodie and rum sophisticate John Farlow, who spoke poetically about why rum is the one spirit that’s most often in his glass. We also heard from Saint House mixologist Karl Goranowski, who educated us a bit on tiki culture, and served up some amazing cocktails for us to try (Vicious Virgin #3, anyone?). Our featured guest was Saint House’s co-owner Travis Reese, who talked about his own passion for rum, and the Caribbean-inspired menu that was thoughtfully designed to pair with cocktails made from many of his 43 rums in stock! We just loved the ropa vieja and ceviche trio, and agree with the Tucson Weekly that “with outstanding food, cocktails and service, Saint House is a stellar addition to the city’s dining scene.”
