How NYC’s Dante Went From Neighborhood Café to Global Cocktail Icon | The Buildout

For many, Dante is the bar that put New York’s modern cocktail scene back on the map.

A restaurant? Something in between? And how do you grow a brand nationally and internationally without losing the magic that made it special in the first place? On this episode of The Buildout, owner Linden Pride joins Adam to tell the story behind Dante, and how he and his wife and partner, Nathalie, have expanded it beyond anything they first imagined while preserving the spark that made it iconic. 🔔Subscribe to VinePair’s YouTube Channel here:    / @vinepair   ➡️Follow Us: Instagram:   / vinepair   Facebook:   / vinepair   Twitter:   / vinepair   ABOUT VINEPAIR VinePair is the largest digital media company delivering accessible, entertaining, and inspiring content about drinks culture and important trends and topics in wine, beer, and spirits.
