"I started Barvox because people kept asking me the same questions after closing time. Figured I should just press record."
Manuel Lică is a Copenhagen-based bartender. He runs Bartender Copenhagen, works with the team at iCY on clear ice, and is still figuring most of it out as he goes. Barvox is the part where he sits down with people he's curious about and asks how they actually got here.
