Hospitality by Design with Ricky Gomez (Owner Palomar, Side Eye), Blaze Montana (Owner Happy Accidents), and Anna Mains is a full-day workshop exploring how every detail—liquid, space, story, and systems—shapes the guest experience. 

From the spirit in your glass to the flow of the bar, and even how you recover when things go sideways, this seminar unpacks the intentional choices that create true hospitality. Expect a mix of practical tools, creative inspiration, and hands-on exercises (including 3D printing and building your own zine of hacks & ideas) designed to level up your craft. 

Split into morning and afternoon sessions—with a three-martini lunch with Fords Gin’s Martim Mattson and Tim Cooper in between—basically the best day of school ever.

Two-Day Educational Workshop for pre-assigned Student Pass holders.
Location: Spirit of 77, 500 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd, Portland , OR 97232
