Meet Your Bartender: Nathan Rogers of Tamarina

Tamarina Head Bartender Nathan Rogers with his dachshund, Sommer.

A few months back, we sat down with Tamarina Head Bartender Nathan Rogers to discuss the restaurant, an Italian/Mediterranean concept that had just opened on 600 Brickell Avenue. After our brief talk, there was no doubt in our minds that we would become happy hour regulars. The second you sit at the bar and are greeted by Nathan, you feel right at home.

We met up with Nathan again to find out more about him: what led him to bartending, how he stays at the top of his game and what his future plans are. You’ll be hard-pressed to find someone who’s as passionate about his craft as he is. That’s why we had to interview him.
