Summary
"'The Glass of God?'" he asked, incredulous. "You tryna make me drink the Kool-Aid, Baker?”
Art smiled and shook his head. “It ain’t like that, believe me.”
His voice carried a conviction that was more convincing than any sales pitch Hank had ever heard before. "No matter who your guest is, they might be comin' into your bar that night feelin' hurt or lonely. And there's one drink from the bartender that should be able to ease up those feelings."
Hank watched his eyes move down to the crystalline Baccarat glass, polished to perfection. Art rotated it in his hand, slow and methodical.
"Heck. Maybe it could even save their soul."
Or: 1981. Hank Olson is a recent divorcé on the LES, and drunkenly stumbles upon a hidden speakeasy one night called God's Garden. The owner and bartender, Art Baker, is just trying to soothe his patrons' weary souls. Hank doesn’t realize it yet, but he might just want to be saved.
