We also wanted to bring in the accuracy of the true Irish pint. Bennigan's created the True Pint glass, which is larger than a regular 16-ounce pint, ensuring a full pint of beer with room for foam at the top. Bennigan's uses the glass for all its draft beers, anywhere from six to 40, depending on location. Bartenders are educated about the various beers and how they should be poured. Each one of our bartenders uses a jigger, which has two premeasured cones.
Strict codes keep bartenders faithful to the device.
Drink boasts eight bars on three floors, including one in the elevator. Glasses designed to resemble old-fashioned canning jars ensure cocktails are correctly mixed. We have monthly training meetings and preshift meetings about drink specialties or new drinks for the night. This training helps refresh bartenders' memories as to exactly how much of each ingredient goes into the establishment's popular chocolate martini and other cocktails. Paying close attention to martini recipes is emphasized for fear of costly mistakes.
