Meet the Team Behind the Bar

Clayton and Cruz, our dynamic duo from the beverage team, bring years of experience and passion to the table.


Born and raised in San Francisco, Clayton moved to NYC a decade ago, diving headfirst into the vibrant hospitality scene.


“I’ve been in the industry since I was 19 and have worked across many different kinds of hospitality businesses over the years,” says Clayton.

One of the most exciting trends in the beverage industry today is the increasing demand for non-alcoholic cocktails.


Cruz notes, “The most interesting thing is that consumers seem to be drinking less, and we have more and more clients inquiring about non-alcoholic cocktails.”


As more people embrace mindful drinking, The Glasshouse is at the forefront of offering delicious and sophisticated mocktails that cater to all preferences.

The Glasshouse Beverage Packages: Quality Meets Approachability

What sets The Glasshouse apart is our commitment to quality and approachability. Our beverage packages are designed to offer guests the best experience, even if the brands aren’t the most advertised.


“We ensure that the items in our packages, even if not the most advertised brand, are backed by quality and sustainability,” Clayton explains.


Our process is seamless—our team works closely with clients to determine the best package for their event, providing a beverage deck to visualize and select what fits their needs. Have something specific and unique in mind? The team works to cater offerings to meet your exact needs.
