The faces — and hands — behind every pour

Portrait of Carissa Hefta, co-founder and lead mixologist

Carissa Hefta

Co-Founder & Lead Mixologist

United States Bartenders' Guild — Member #49727

Carissa Hefta has been behind a bar for over 20 years — and not just pouring drinks. She managed Parliament Pub in Omaha for seven years as Lead Bartender and Manager: scheduling, inventory, ordering, staff training, and running a full operation under pressure night after night. Before that, she worked a specialty martini bar with a 100-cocktail menu she had memorized cold. She didn't read from a list. She knew it. She's bartended Gasparilla, College World Series events, and New Year's Eve countdowns — large crowds, outdoor rigs, high-ticket nights. At Molly Malone's she posted 114% per-shift sales growth within three months, built on repeat guests and tab volume, not luck. A USBG Bar Professional and certified mixologist, Carissa founded Heftology because she already knew how to run someone else's bar. Now she runs her own.

Portrait of Michelle Flannery, co-founder and lead bartender

Michelle Flannery

Co-Founder & Lead Bartender

United States Bartenders' Guild — Member #49774

Michelle Flannery ran the prime bar at Circles Waterfront Restaurant for six years — not a satellite station, not a service bar. The main stage. Blenders, fresh squeezers, deep freezers, and one of Tampa Bay's most demanding cocktail menus, executed flawlessly under full service pressure night after night. She didn't just tend bar. She commanded it. The kind of head bartender that venues build their drink program around and regulars come back specifically to see. She brings that same precision, creativity, and unshakeable calm to every Heftology event — the difference is now she comes to you. Heftology just gave her a home base.
