Stu’s Nantucket story began in 1999, when he worked at the Auto Body before finding his passion for cooking at the Brotherhood of Thieves. Offseasons took him from making pizza at the Blue Moose in Beaver Creek to Seattle, where, working at the Wild Ginger, he learned the bar trade from the ground up. Back on the island in 2006, he made his mark at Water Street with fresh, inventive cocktails, then joined Cisco’s distillery to blend spirits, run Triple Eight’s vodka program, and craft the start of their canned cocktail line.

What Nantucket Cocktail Catering Offers

Full-service bar catering for cocktail parties, fundraisers, and private events from Memorial Day through Columbus Day, plus Thanksgiving and Stroll. Offerings include a fresh-shucked oyster bar (with options like crab claws, littleneck clams, and caviar service), a fully stocked walk-up cocktail bar, and grazing boards with artisanal cheese, charcuterie, tinned fish, and crudité. Also runs Cisco to Go, mobile bartending built around the Cisco Brewers experience, popular for local fundraisers, sponsorships, and donation-based events.

Style & Flavor

Stu practices a food-waste-conscious approach with handmade cocktails, fresh-shucked shellfish, and high quality sourcing across the board.
