Hey everyone, this is Chad Dickey and I have been in the bar service business since February of 2004. I first started my bar service with three friends, then known as Pacific Coast Bar and Beverage. In June of 2012, I went solo, purchased my restaurant in San Juan Capistrano and re-formed my business into The Cocktail Concierge. I grew up in Prescott, AZ, went to college at Mesa State in Grand Junction, CO, earning a degree in Environmental Engineering. I moved to California in 1999 and soon got married in 2003. I now have two kids that are ages 13 and 10. A few other fun facts about myself are that I love mountain biking and doing anything outdoors in my free time. I also coach club soccer and basketball for my son.
What is your favorite event that you have been part of at The Cocktail Concierge? I think the best event I worked was an ESPY post party at the Vibiana in July of 2010. We had just started working at this location and was absolutely blown away by the scale of this event, from décor, to layout, plus, was impressed with the athletes and movie stars that attended. After the Espy’s, I knew that The Cocktail Concierge could take on any event that came our way. Confidence in producing events is only as good as the team around you!!! What is your favorite restaurant or type of food? My favorite food is most definitely Mexican, as I love anything spicy.
What is something interesting about you? I had at least 5 business fails in my 20’s. Including, starting a t-shirt partnership business with Hawaiian firefighters who taught surf lessons, a park bench that had a phone connected to 911 built into it (post 9/11 era), and, a sports bar in Phoenix, just to name a few. Guess business success is all a numbers game, plus a little hard work and a touch of good luck!!!
If you could have lunch with someone dead or alive, who would it be and why? I would love to have lunch with Alex Honnold, the famous rock climber. I think I would like to know what it’s like to free climb 2,000 feet without a rope and control your emotions for the duration of the climb.
What Cocktail Best describes you? I love Gin and Bourbon cocktails the most.
