We're especially head-over-heels for Archie, a beaded tulle A-line gown featuring a draped one-shoulder bodice with a draped accent on the back. Inspired by empowerment, Paige's latest collection is a daring and chic sparkle fest filled with dreamy confections featuring floral beaded straps, cascading ball gowns and beautiful beading. The beautiful and lively Paige debuted her collection at New York Fashion Week and first stop is her trunk show at JLM's flagship store this weekend (call the boutique to make an appointment now!). “That’s the fun part.Bridal designer and all around unicorn of bridal design touched down at JLM Couture Flagship Salon in Los Angeles for a sparkling soiree, "An Evening of Mystique" to celebrate her Spring 2019 Bridal Collection. We’ll go in together, add some insight and tweak the recipes,” Reid says. “Most of our bartenders have been doing this for as long as I have. For spirit-forward drinkers, the Woodford Barrel-Aged Manhattan is an exercise in patience: The cocktail rests in a small oak barrelįor 12 days and the extended aging helps the flavors meld, making it worth the wait.ĭeveloping new drinks is a collaborative effort. The 10-drink cocktail menu frequently changes, with plenty of fun, buzzy concoctions, like The Bevy Punch (a quartet of tropical-flavored rums with pineapple and cranberry juices) and the Sandstone Margarita (a twist on the classic with blood orange, rimmed with lemon zest and chili lime salt). The wine list pushes into the dozens and demonstrates a wide variety. The striking, backlit back bar showcases an apothecary-like display of special bottles-aged spirits, high-end whiskeys, cognacs-while shelves suspended from the ceiling hold a curated selection of tequila, gin, rum and other spirits. With its convivial 16-seat bar, plant-lined walls and retractable ceilings, The Bevy puts a modern spin on the local social scene. That’s blended with blackberries, lemon juice and Luxardo cherry liqueur. For the restaurant’s Blackberry Tom Cat cocktail, Reid uses Benham’s gin, a label from California that counts Meyer lemon, peppermint, chamomile and star anise among its aromatics. “There are lots of gins coming out with different flavor profiles that are fun to work with,” he says.

Since then, he has held court behind the 16-seat, U-shaped bar, serving drinks with an emphasis on fresh juices and fruit purees. Reid, who grew up in Colorado and got his start as a barback at a corporate restaurant “when flavored mojitos were all the rage,” worked his way up to become a bartender, then manager at Naples’ Bistro 821, before finding his home at The Bevy shortly after it opened in 2017. Selections from The Bevy’s menu, such as the grilled octopus, pair well with the restaurant’s cocktails, like the smoky Cedar Fire Old Fashioned. Bar manager Grant Reid leads a team of six bartenders who are responsible for delivering Signature Bevys, which range from the Old Fashioned (Michter’s bourbon, orange bitters and maple syrup, served in a smoked glass with a garnish of candied bacon) to the light and elegant Italian 75 (rosemary-and-lavender-infused vodka, lemon juice and prosecco). The indoor-outdoor space features plants, glass and retractable ceilings that bring the outside in (weather permitting).
Smoke aside, The Bevy is far from a dark and moody cocktail lounge. Order a Cedar Fire Old Fashioned, for example, and sit back and watch as a bartender ignites a cedar plank to imbue your drink with a subtle woodsy flavor. Located a few blocks from the Naples Pier, the 180-seat gastropub serves some of the area’s freshest cocktails. Getting lit has a different meaning at The Bevy.
