How to Drink for a Living | Anthony Jones (@TheATXDrinker) | Tiny Talks Austin

Recorded on March 26th, 2024 at Austin School of Film in Austin, TX.
Anthony Jones recounts his journey from Olive Garden server to The ATX Drinker, Austin's leading guide to the 512's drinking scene. The inspiration for the account began during the COVID-19 pandemic. Him and a friend started trying new whiskies and sharing their reviews on a new Instagram page, The Whiskey Boys. The page's success inspired Jones to launch The ATX Drinker, focusing on cocktails and bars in Austin. Eventually, he monetized his platform through events and brand partnerships, allowing him to quit his banking job, promote lesser-known bars and meet celebrities like Post Malone.
