Bar Shuffles

After departing Jasper's Corner Tap & Kitchen under its new management, top local bartender Kevin Diedrich took a well-earned rest. This week, he got back in the game by joining Franck LeClerc's forthcoming Gaspar Brasserie as a consultant. Expect Cognac, Calvados, Armagnac, French aperitif, and absinthe cocktails; he'll also be working behind the bar in the early going. (Well, one of them, anyway: turns out the space is set to have two, one on each floor.) Expect Gaspar sometime in May. [Tablehopper]
