Barney Toy is hospo through and through.

We discuss his entry into the drinks world from back home in Sheffield, UK (Varsity Bar anyone, IYKYK), coming runner up (always the bridesmaid) in Bacardi Legacy 2015 and how that actually lead to some incredible opportunities, opening his own dream venue in NZ plus loads more.

If there's anyone that personifies the love of our industry alongside well made drinks it's Barney.

What a pleasure our chat was.

Sondra Beram aka Sondie is an icon of the North Bondi community. Operator of bRU Coffee for over 9 years this place has become, for many people, way more than just a place to get their morning caffeine fix.

Sondie has relinquished the keys of bRU which makes this the perfect time for a catch up.

Learn all about Sondie's campaign to ditch the single use cup and what drinks she'd world take to a desert island (spoiler, no coffee).
