Tanner Dimmick is the bar manager at Spoonbill Watering Hole & Restaurant in downtown Lafayette.
To me he is the quintessential barman — the kind where you can just walk up and ask him to make you a drink, he’ll ask you a few questions and then hand you a glass of deliciousness that will suit your mood perfectly. He loves the challenge. He’s always got some infusion or syrup he’s just created tucked away, and of course, he’s also very good company.
