Big News! Derek Bell is Back at Apiary!
We’re thrilled to welcome Derek Bell back to Apiary as the club’s Service Director! Derek will be overseeing all things service to ensure every member enjoys an exceptional experience.
For those who didn’t get to meet Derek during Apiary’s early days, here’s a bit about him:
He’s been the force behind the bar at our sister lounge, Capital Cigar Lounge, for the last four years. Derek’s known for his hospitality, dedication to craft, and a knack for making everyone feel right at home.
A few fun facts: Derek is engaged and set to tie the knot this February. He’s also a proud dog dad to three pups, and his drink of choice? Whiskey neat, of course.
Next time you’re in, be sure to say hello and welcome him back to the Apiary family!
