Tara Gillum
Tara Gillum is a 20+ year veteran of the beverage industry. She cut her teeth behind local bars at an early age, that’s all we will say about that, and quickly fell in love with the bar industry. Over her career, she has spanned an array of positions from cruise ships to hotel bar management. In 2014 she took a leap of faith and opened Steiner’s Speakeasy in Chillicothe Ohio. Although the focus did change over the years from craft beer to cocktails and spirits, the drive to be more than just a place to get a drink stayed the same. During the pandemic of 2020, Tara went to the internet to reach her community. Steiner’s Happy Hour at Home was born, online cocktail classes from Tara’s kitchen where people could log on and interact, just like they would in the bar itself. That was a pivotal moment. After multiple awards for her cocktails and entrepreneurship, Tara decided she wanted to do more with spirits and cocktail education. Whether it be in a class full of community members or a bar looking for new ideas, Bad Girl, Good Cocktails is Tara’s endeavor to make the world a tastier place.
