SO, WHAT’S A BANGER?

Tim Wiggins has been slinging buzzworthy bangers since before opening his first spot, Retreat Gastropub, back in 2016.

Known in St. Louis and beyond for crafting cocktails that are inventive yet approachable, he understands what it takes to create truly crave-worthy drinks that look every bit as good as they taste, and has a knack for turning spirit-skeptics into believers. As a trendsetter in the world of mixology, his cocktails have been featured on the feeds of Punch, Imbibe, and Food & Wine.

But what good is a crushable cocktail if it doesn’t make money?

With alcohol accounting for over 40% of overall sales at Wiggins’ restaurants Yellowbelly and Lazy Tiger, there’s no room for error when it comes to calculating beverage costs. As partner and beverage director for On-Point Hospitality, Tim now oversees three craft cocktail programs and has implemented fool-proof formulas to maximize profitability behind the bar.

It’s this keen understanding not just of flavors, but also of numbers that earned him a spot in St. Louis Business Journal’s 30 Under 30 Class of 2019. Safe to say, he knows a thing or two about turning cocktails into cash, and he’s got the receipts to prove it.
