Welcome to Rob’s Home Bar!
My name is Robert Baldwin and I am NOT a professional bartender! LOL, but I am passionate about mixology and making classic cocktails at home. For the passed several years, I have emersed myself in the world of cocktails, spirits and the long history that goes along with it. Everything from learning how to taste Scotch, so the history of the Old Fashioned to learning how to craft my own cocktail creations! It’s been quite a journey and I am here to share the experience with you so you can learn how to make cocktails at home!
Odin the Newfoundland
Odin is my 160lbs Newfoundland pup and he’s the mascot of Rob’s Home Bar! His wacky antics are featured in every single video I post to my YouTube Channel.
Cheers!
