Myopenbar.com was originally conceived and developed, respectively, by Rob Hitt and Seva Granik of Williamsburg (gasp), Brooklyn. Having realized the dire need for a centralized and coherent source of worthy open bar listings in New York, they took it upon themselves to scour the field and provide this free service to you, esteemed readers, at the expense of their own livers, sleep, and spare change jars.

Since its inception in late August of 2005, MOB has successfully gotten many a hipster soused. We've also been buzzed about, written about, praised, threatened, thanked, conferred "best of" status, and occasionally, a physical target for the wrong end of a Grey Goose bottle.

They endeavored to persevere and managed to expand.
