With a background in distillation, culinary arts, foraging, and hospitality, Cat has worked alongside a range of chefs and cuisines, developing thoughtful beverage programs rooted in seasonality, balance, and a strong sense of place. His work behind the bar at Magnus garnered the attention of national and international press and his work has been featured in numerous publications. In 2024, Magnus was recognized by The Pinnacle Guide for the excellence of its bar program, becoming one of 37 cocktail bars in the world — and one of just 10 in the United States — to receive the honor. Today, Cat’s role has expanded beyond the bar to Creative Director. Drawing inspiration from the coast of Maine, travel, food, art, and everyday experiences, Cat helps to cultivate Magnus’ broader vision and practice of hospitality as a craft that is fundamentally creative, collaborative, and evolving. From menu development and storytelling to building systems and developing teams, Cat has his hands in it all. In this leadership role, Cat takes particular pride in fostering an environment where talented people are supported in growing into confident, imaginative leaders within the industry. 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 -
