Description
“Cocktail books typically lean in the direction of fun and entertainment—and while the latest
book from Parsons certainly doesnâ€t skip out on the good times, he strikes a tone more
elegiac with Last Call, asking bartenders heavy questions about mortality and legacy. In twentythree
cities across the country, Parsons inquires about what their final drink would be—and the
question opens a wider discussion into bar rituals, cocktail culture, and the inherent appeal of
these welcoming rooms in the wee hours of the night.―—Imbibe“Measure equal parts
travelogue, tell-all, discography, and cocktail companion—in service of an obituary of all
patrons—and you have Last Call; Brad Thomas Parsonsâ€s best book yet. Through soulful
photos and gritty interviews, he and photographer Ed Anderson capture the rawness, vulnerability,
and ecstasy of the metamorphosis between the end of a guestâ€s night and the beginning of a
bartenderâ€s.―—Jim Meehan, author of Meehanâ€s Bartender Manual andÂ
The PDT Cocktail Book “This book is a delight. Last Call shows us the sense of
community evoked by bartenders across the country, whose wisdom and tenderness are captured
here both in words and beautiful photographs. It made me—an erstwhile bartender and faithful
customer—happy to remember that we all have nights when we unexpectedly hear the words
‘last call,†and that noble and fascinating bartenders are out there waiting to share it with
us.―—Alan Cumming “Brad Thomas Parsons brilliantly takes us behind the scenes in this
insiderâ€s visit with bartenders across the country, who disclose what theyâ€d choose as
their last libation. Not only do they share their thoughts, they also give us a taste of their favorite
cocktails with a host of inspiring recipes that anyone can shake or stir up at home. Youâ€ll savor
every sip of this spirited look at what goes on behind the bar—from small-town dives to big-city
speakeasies—when closing time finally arrives.―—David Lebovitz, author of My Paris
Kitchen and Drinking French“This book is brimming with great recipes, but Last Call
reminds us, with intimacy and warmth, that stories and the people who tell them are the very best
portion of bar life.―—Rosie Schaap, author of Drinking with Men “With the constant
companionship of bartenders along the way, Brad Thomas Parsons takes us on a tour of some of
the countryâ€s finest establishments in a somber yet seductive celebration of that hardearnedÂ
final moment of reflection, often paired with the perfect tune and a flawlessly poured
drink in hand.―—Charlie Hall, drummer, The War on Drugs “Brad Thomas Parsonsâ€
Last Call is a glorious multi-tool of a book. Its profusion of smart cocktail recipes makes it
invaluable behind the bar—or tucked into your suitcase, as itâ€s also a supreme travel guide to

some of the finest saloons in America, a treasure map for late-night explorers. Itâ€s also,
sublimely, a gravelly disquisition on life, death, pleasure, and what it all means. Parsons has
become our preeminent thinker-drinker—our best surveyor of that heady, complex zone where
liquid spirits meet the human spirit.―—Jonathan Miles, author of Dear American Airlines and
Anatomy of a Miracle “A thoughtful and enjoyable book that will delight cocktail aficionados
and lovers of bars alike.―—Library Journal Brad Thomas Parsons is the author of Bitters
(which was the winner of the James Beard and IACP Cookbook Awards, and a finalist for the
Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards), Amaro, and Distillery Cats. He received an MFA in
writing from Columbia University, and his work has appeared in Bon Appétit, Lucky Peach, Food
& Wine, Travel + Leisure, PUNCH, and more. He lives in Brooklyn. See all Editorial Reviews
