After college I stepped away from the industry and found myself working behind a desk in a corporate bank job. After three years of staring at a computer monitor, I moved to Maine in search of who I wanted to be. I do not believe in coincidences, and truly believe that wherever you are in your path of life is exactly where the universe intends for you to be. Thus, I believe it's fitting that I found myself working as a Brand Ambassador for the Wiggly Bridge Distillery in York, Maine, where I was born. I became obsessed with how spirits are made, the science behind the distillation, the barrel-aging techniques, and even the smells. I quickly learned that in order to sell craft spirits to other bartenders, I needed to know how to use them in craft cocktails. So I dove head first into the world of craft cocktails and spirits. As my confidence grew, I started to seek out bartending jobs with the intention of executing my own cocktail lists. Running the bar at Elda was my shot. Out of all the books I have read, hours spent refining techniques, and countless youtube videos watched, Elda was where I learned to look at drinks from a chef's perspective. Thanks to Chef Bowman Brown, I began to look at balance and intention in a whole new light when it came to making cocktails. Regardless of whether you cook with fire or with ice, the entire purpose is to breathe life into your art by allowing a little bit of yourself to reflect in the finished product. A great chef is able to tell you their story through fire. I hope to tell you mine through ice. I hope Magnus on Water is a place of creativity and learning for guests and staff. If there's one thing you can expect from the bar program at Magnus on Water, it's to expect the unexpected. ;) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/16f8a285-e908-4632-9411-5a6f49c38b04/11-16-23_KANAS-RUSSELL_Chloe%2BJulia_EngagementSession_2-188.jpg About Photo by NOVAE Film and Photo Julia Russell Owner, Managing Partner I am from Maine and grew up across the river from 12 Water Street in Saco. Much of my young life was spent longing to escape the small-town feel of Maine. However, when I was denied entry into my preferred university, NYU, I found myself engaged in an unexpected journey down the east coast that eventually found me landing in Washington, DC. With absolutely no intention of staying long term after having graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park with a degree in biology, I ended up discovering an amazing community in the DC area that enticed me to stay for 14 + years. It was not until a chance encounter during a vacation back home to Maine that I found myself drawn to the community-centric feel of a small town that I had run from so many years before. With Magnus on Water, I have discovered a family who also wholeheartedly believes in the central premise that hospitality and exceptional experiences should not be exclusive to those who can afford lofty price tags. With the idea that warm and inviting places are created by the people who inhabit them, it is my greatest hope that all who visit will find Magnus on Water the type of place they look forward to returning to time and time again. A place where the food and the drinks are excellent, but where, more importantly, the experiences and connections are unparalleled. https://www.magnusonwater.com/gallery daily 0.75 2020-01-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579284277736-H2F4O008OZ11O2FZ42LM/MagnusOnWater245.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579284277736-H2F4O008OZ11O2FZ42LM/MagnusOnWater245.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579124303372-3139LI0BSV1KFFY16FGN/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-177.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122727396-FK9VZ49UZ6LB1Z5A5ZOY/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-49.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579279195054-JI2O74XREB9E4HT0JJ1S/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-374.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122760984-N1IZUDR92KMD0DO96HB1/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-112.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122769305-H4U0PNLLWOV4K71DGMEH/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-138.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579279048576-3I5KI3MZ8SH7H3PU2AVO/Magnus-30.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579284239042-Z8TGOOVKB2JXJHXNA1IC/MagnusOnWater78.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122928164-VYOR7V345BOB41HFZNBK/MagnusOnWater249.jpg Gallery Photo: Greta Tucker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122974914-PK9LWW16HGMZ35CLVBMG/MagnusOnWater209.jpg Gallery Photo : Greta Tucker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122831066-PWCSPI63Q1G75CN2GO6P/4Q3A2168Magnus_on_water.jpg Gallery Photo: Kelsey Gayle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579123950808-W1MKEO8QX0M0Y4AB27L0/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-309.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122712214-WGD58X1BV1YM2KHC28XW/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-9.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122519677-9YEK19TUEH6LSZA9I6GK/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-325.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122919938-WK0YL5KCY9M3KVWVNZLE/MagnusOnWater252.jpg Gallery Photo: Greta Tucker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122514115-X9ZB2Z84TFJUM0R2U2R0/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-182.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122777627-Y4JN1LVH914RMOB7IUIC/4Q3A1143Magnus_on_water.jpg Gallery Photo: Kelsey Gayle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579124392500-DSIZM8VQ5BP07D402JP0/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-139.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122903777-P5455MKERBN6JO9GHQXT/MagnusOnWater268.jpg Gallery Photo: Greta Tucker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579279156265-KQLP6RSB0KHP7T391PRT/4Q3A1747Magnus_on_water.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579122732839-B8FRD8XQUSAJ2WK0E3WJ/Magnus+on+Water_SearchingtheShadows_2019-64.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579124935093-2DPZ96ND9CIBJZSMOP1I/Magnus+on+Water_film-68.jpg Gallery Photo: Searching the Shadows Photography https://www.magnusonwater.com/contact-info daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1579285391771-140PTYN6MXPLLITQZQ9G/4Q3A1762Magnus_on_water.jpg Contact https://www.magnusonwater.com/catering daily 0.75 2024-03-06 https://www.magnusonwater.com/magnus-on-water daily 0.75 2020-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1549051123201-VP9Y1Y1AZA89ZOPVLFBT/bkg-01.png Magnus on Water — Biddeford, Maine https://www.magnusonwater.com/gallery-1 daily 0.75 2020-01-17 https://www.magnusonwater.com/press daily 0.75 2024-07-26 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5bfab30096d4550b42f693a0/1721967300629-FKUCP81G4EB8K1TF0Y9Z/78414FB6-1643-42F9-B116-A38694BC689D.jpg Press -
