In 2017, Steven Liles—a career bartender then working at Smuggler’s Cove in San Francisco—was named Bartender of the Year as part of that year’s Imbibe 75. Liles, who passed away this week after a brief and sudden illness, was a bartender’s bartender.

“Art is everywhere” isn’t just a creative’s colloquialism, especially when it comes to what we drink. You’ll find art in a morning cup of coffee — even when it’s not topped with stenciled foam — a genius libation topped with a dainty garnish, or even an ice-cold beer with a flawlessly foamy head. While this may be an easy sentiment to overlook in daily life, a growing crop of museum bars are a fresh reminder that there’s art present in all we do.
