The Story Behind Saints & Spirits
Founder & Mixologist
Kendall Bartelheim
I'm a family man, and Southern California native now calling Verrado home. Outside the bar, I love working out, spending time outdoors, being with the people I care about, and I’ve always had a big heart for animals, especially pit bulls. Halloween is easily my favorite holiday.
More than anything, I value good people, memorable experiences, and quality time together. That connection is a big reason hospitality became such an important part of my life.
More Than Just Drinks
What I love most about bartending isn’t just creating cocktails. It’s being part of the moments people remember.
A birthday. A wedding. A graduation. A game-day party. A backyard full of friends and family.
Those are the moments I want Saints & Spirits to be part of.
Whatever You’re Celebrating
Saints & Spirits is available for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, graduations, showers, engagement parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties, housewarmings, holiday parties, sports watch parties, corporate events, dinner parties, backyard celebrations, and more.
If it matters to you, it’s worth making memorable.
Where craft cocktail knowledge meets private event service.
Saints & Spirits was created by a working mixologist who believes the bar should be more than a place to grab a drink. It should be part of the experience.
The same approach used to develop cocktails behind a craft bar goes into every Saints & Spirits event: testing flavors, refining recipes, thinking through presentation, and making sure each drink can actually be executed efficiently when guests arrive.
But great bartending isn't only about what's in the glass. It's knowing how to read a room, keep service moving, anticipate what guests need, and create an atmosphere that feels effortless.
