Do you know how the cocktail got its name? Ever wonder why pink elephants symbolize a pixelated good time? Or have you asked yourself why napkins pictured women rolling naked in champagne glasses?
Quinn answers those and other questions and provides a loopy look at how bars and cocktail napkins bonded. Bar Keeps: A Collection of California’s Best Cocktail Napkins published by Angel City Press, is a fun and fabulous tour of cocktail culture in the Golden State. Whether you’re the type to visit roadside diners, chic hotels, hidden dives, or fancy restaurants, napkin collector Patrick Quinn, author of Bar Keeps, probably beat you there and found a vintage cocktail napkin as a souvenir.
Bar Keeps is a rollicking road trip with stops in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Oakland, Sacramento, Bakersfield, and points between—all with cocktail napkins to savor.
A longtime Angeleno, Patrick Quinn is a production designer at Universal Studios. He visits swap meets and antique malls, adding to his ever-growing collections of lounge music LPs, 1970s snapshots, Western Union telegrams, early travel guides, and, of course, cocktail napkins.
