    Portrait of Katie Stipe

    i. Biography

    At a Glance Katie Stipe is a bartender tied to Flatiron Lounge in New York City in 2006. That single credit is the whole record here, and it reads with the precision of a well-made drink: one venue, one city, one year. The line is spare, but it does the job of a clean service note—nothing extra, nothing blurred. Flatiron Lounge anchors the entry, and New York City in 2006 fixes it in place. As written, the credit points to a working bar context without padding it out.

    Bartender, Flatiron Lounge, New York City, 2006: that is the evidence, and it is enough to place Katie Stipe in a specific moment of the city’s cocktail trade. The restraint of the record is part of its force. A bartender credit carries the usual demands of the room—timing, pace, attention, control—but stays with the facts it has. The result is a concise profile that depends on selection rather than accumulation.

    Signature

    Katie's signature dishes include Siesta, Bohemian Spritz, and Just Like Honey. That signature list is brief, but it gives its only named menu of work. Siesta, Bohemian Spritz, and Just Like Honey each read with a distinct cadence, and together they suggest attention to naming as part of the bar craft. The list is compact, but it still carries tone, structure, and a clear sense of how a drink name can hold its own weight.

    Taken together, the record stays deliberately lean. What remains is a tight snapshot of Katie Stipe’s work: a bartender credit at Flatiron Lounge in New York City in 2006, with three signature dishes named plainly and left to stand on their own.
