BBC News: Shake-Up At Mariners Club
[Written by Adrienne Smatt, Bermuda Broadcasting Co.]
Bermudians Stefan Gitschner and Somers Carr grew up abroad but came back to Bermuda to make their living.
After gaining experience as far afield as France, the two entrepreneurs got together to create the ‘Twisted Spoon Cocktail Company’ and have recently taken over management of the Mariners Club.
The co–owners have extensive backgrounds in the hospitality industry and say they really like to “make delicious drinks for people”.
Their company can craft cocktails for a particular event or to satisfy a customer’s specific preference. They say, “tell us what you like and we’ll do the rest”.
Note: Bernews is temporarily helping Bermuda Broadcasting Company by sharing its stories online. The station’s TV equipment is undergoing repair after being hit by lightning.
Great news to hear of young Bermudians creating their own business, and succeeding. It shows it can be done.
so is it still a private club?
Yes but new members are always very welcome!!! See you there!!!
ALL THE BEST TO THEM, I was there as a pre-Christmas dinner, I’d go back.
Bermudians Stefan Gitschner and Somers Carr grew up abroad but came back to Bermuda to make their living. Congratulations and may the future be everything you both are wishing for…
It is not the Mariner’s Club, it is The Bermuda Sailor’s
Home, first and foremost.
Thank you.
Fancy!
Actually, the Mariners Club in under the Bermuda Sailors Home. BSH is in fact a trust whereas ariners Club is a members club – under BSH.
Sorry wahoo, my reply was to pipsqueak above.
Well done Stefan
No more Carson Bean? Or Cassidy? Say it ain’t so.
Change is never easy. We will see soon enough if they can pull it off. I think they will with guidance.
