In 2017 Bolt took the jump from Beverage Director to Bar Owner. While he’s now the sole proprietor of the Gin Joint you can still find him behind the bar whipping up well-balanced concoctions. His ingredient-focused, culinary approach to cocktails brings unique creations to the ever-changing menu. James Bolt credits both CIA and his time at McCrady’s for his creative approach in crafting cocktails.
Bolt’s cocktails have been featured by Imbibe, Thrillist, The Local Palate, PUNCH, Liquor.com, Tales of the Cocktail and Bravo TV.
