Simone Caporale

Bar service at the top level is a matter of control: pace, consistency, and the ability to make difficult work read as clean and unforced. Simone Caporale’s years at Artesian Bar, The Langham in London, ending in 2021, were built in that register. The room demanded rhythm as much as technique, and his time there became a working lesson in how restraint, timing, and close attention to detail shape a drink service that holds together under pressure. A move in 2021 from operator to owner changes the nature of the work. At Sips Barcelona, Simone Caporale became co-founder and co-owner, taking on a role that extends beyond execution into authorship and oversight. The discipline associated with Artesian Bar, The Langham in London did not disappear in the move; it became part of how Sips Barcelona was formed and continues to be run. Today Bar identity is built from repeated decisions: how service feels, how the room is managed, and how the list reads to the guest. As co-founder and co-owner of Sips Barcelona, Simone Caporale works on that level, shaping both the atmosphere and the standards that define the bar’s daily operation. The result is a place where the glass, the pace of service, and the surrounding room are all part of the same authored experience. Modern bar work asks for more than technical command. It asks for judgment, consistency, and the ability to sustain a clear point of view over time. That is where Simone Caporale’s present role sits at Sips Barcelona: the same exacting approach that formed at Artesian Bar, The Langham in London now informs a broader responsibility for direction, coherence, and the long maintenance of a bar’s identity.
