Pittsburgh native Mia Sarazen never intended to become a career bartender. She was working as a make-up artist in New York City and supplemented her between-gig income by working at bars. Soho House gave her an opportunity to help open their West Hollywood branch, and a six-week assignment turned into a cross-country move. L.A.’s tight-knit cocktail community motivated Sarazen, and she embraced the city’s creativity and community. We met when she was working at Big Bar, and she now splits time between Black Market and Harvard and Stone, which is where she recently discussed her background, influences and approach.
