History Loves Staff

We spent some time at one of our favorite spots at Lamy’s this week…the bar! Hands down, the best cocktails in Pettis County, these libations are made with love and art–typically by the Head Bartender, Kimmi Finkiewicz.

Kimmi has been at Lamy’s since almost the beginning. She has been in the food industry since she started her working life and has moved up from service to management. She quickly discovered that her passion lies behind the bar and so that’s currently where she stays.

Staff Loves Life at Lamy’s

Kimmi jokes that her love of libations comes from a Polish and German background. She feels she was practically made for drinks! We agree that she’s stellar at what she does. Her favorite drink? The Blueberry Martini! She blends vodka, St. Germain, muddled blueberries, lime, simple syrup, and mint for THE drink of the summer. We may have sampled a drink or two in the name of research. We concur…tis good!

But what is Kimmi eating when she is in the same place so often? She swears that anything featuring the red snapper is the best dish on the menu. While she still loves the red beans and rice that were paired with it on the last menu, she says that the new take on it is just as good and she can’t wait to see what the staff does to incorporate it in their next menu!

Lamy’s Loves Josey

When we asked Kimmi about a band she’s fallen in love with at her time at Lamy’s, she assured us that it’s impossible to pick one. This is because Kimmi is an artist herself. In fact, she played guitar and sang one weekend at Lamy’s prior to her working here. Though, she does hope that she can step out of the bar, again, to perform.

She loves her life inside this building and believes that for the first time, she is working for people who actually care about her. We agree…staff is what makes this place run! Thanks, Kimmi!
