Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times The colorful, fast-paced documentary "Hey Bartender" celebrates the renaissance of the craft cocktail and the men and women who mix them with rock star aplomb. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 13, 2013 Full Review Moira MacDonald Seattle Times Engagingly looks at the new age of the craft cocktail, and the masters who mix them. Rated: 3/4 Jun 13, 2013 Full Review John DeFore The Hollywood Reporter This isn't the cocktail doc enthusiasts are waiting for. Jun 7, 2013 Full Review Allen Almachar The MacGuffin An entertaining look into a profession that may not be taken seriously outside its own circles. It's briskly paced, and provides nice insight into some of the more interesting characters. Rated: B Jul 27, 2020 Full Review John Beifuss Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN) More successful as a sort of moving-picture coffee-table book homage to the glamor of the perfectly wrought cocktail than as a personalized narrative. Rated: 2/4 May 16, 2014 Full Review Jamie S. Rich Oregonian As a drinker looking at the beautifully photographed cocktails, I finally started to understand why foodies go nuts for similar exposs about chefs. Rated: 3.5/5 Oct 16, 2013 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Self-congratulatory documentary, more about bars and bartenders than what should be the star of the show-cocktails. And Chicago was totally shafted--no mention of any of our cocktail bars. Still, a fun movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member not only was this an interesting documentary, but there was a good story strung along throughout. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Good look inside the industry, and fun to see so many of the hardworking tastemakers getting recognition Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member An amusing Documentary of your usual cocktail.
