Get To Know Bob Peters: Crafting Cocktails and Southern Hospitality at Chief’s Modern Cocktail Parlor
Quote from Article

Chief’s Modern Cocktail Parlor in Charlotte, NC, is Bob’s personal project, and is inspired by his father, “Chief,” and his mother, who embodied Southern hospitality. Bob fondly recalls how his father would immediately offer a drink to guests, and his mother’s renowned cooking. “Dad couldn’t get a drink in your hand fast enough after you would walk in their front door, and my mother’s home cooking was to die for. There were plenty of snacks that were always laid out for cocktail hour(s) before the late dinner ever had a chance to start. The love of people and caring for our friends’ experience at the house was always paramount, and that is where I got my understanding of how to make people feel special.”

I want everyone to feel that same way when you come into Chief’s Modern Cocktail Parlor. I want it to feel like a hug, like you matter, like we care about our guests that come in to visit and catch up.” These hospitality lessons Bob learned from his parents are deeply embedded in the service at Chief’s. Supporting local distillers and farmers is also a key aspect of Chief’s, as Bob stresses the importance of being authentic and fostering a welcoming atmosphere.
