Ty Caudle
Beverage Director
Ty spent years catering, voraciously reading cocktail books and bartending manuals, before breaking into the industry. He joined The Interval in 02016 as Lead Bartender under the tutelage of Jennifer Colliau. Now, as Beverage Director, he welcomes the responsibility of honoring the artisans behind every ingredient served at The Interval.
Time Capsule (02014-02020)
Since the Interval first opened in 02014, dozens of cocktails from former Beverage Directors Jennifer Colliau and Todd Myles Carnam have wended their way into our guests’ hearts, some for just a night, some for weeks and months on end. A few, however, became iconic, so inseparable from the space and concept of The Interval that to no longer offer them would be unthinkable. Jennifer and Todd have moved on from The Interval but the drinks in this section all bear their inimitable stamp.

The Bartenders
Each of the Interval’s talented bartenders has specific cocktail interests. Some tend towards whiskey, others to gin or brandy; some prefer slow sippers, others drinks that are shaken and refreshing; some keep it simple, others gravitate towards the baroque and complex. In this, our most unique and personal section, we offer the creations of our very own bartenders, drinks they’ve conceived and labored over for weeks or sometimes months until, finally, they’ve achieved their vision.
