WHO I AM
Hi, I'm Tera Eilers, the owner and founder of BOGAR + BEV.
​
For the past two decades I have served our Country as a Soldier in the Army and Army National Guard, a busy and rewarding career that left me little time to focus on much else. Despite this commitment, I have always found a way to pursue my interests, connect with people and form close relationships.
​
I discovered my love of cocktails through my Uncles Bob and Gary (learn about them below) and have spent the last few years perfecting my craft. To me a cocktail should be more than a drink; it should be an experience.
​
I created BOGAR + BEV as a small way to bring people together after two years of being apart; to reestablish connections in a unique, safe, inclusive and intimate environment. I hope your experience with us sparks joy, ignites a new a passion, or leaves you with a memory to enjoy for a lifetime.

WHO THEY ARE
These handsome gentlemen are my uncles, Bob Browne (BO) and Gary Eilers (GAR), and the inspiration behind BOGAR + BEV.
Years ago, they committed their Friday evenings to a standing date night with each other as a way to connect after a long and stressful work week. To keep Fridays from feeling like any other day, they would lower the lighting and turn on music creating a cocktail party atmosphere in the privacy of their beautiful Southern California living room.
​
My Uncle Gary is the Master of the Martini, a title he has earned through the thoughtfulness and detail he puts into each and every drink he makes from preparation to presentation. My Uncle Bob is the cook in their relationship and can take a simple appetizer to another level with a couple of small tweaks and the right presentation. Together they are amazing hosts and have the talent of making a complete stranger feel like family in an instant with their authenticity, genuine friendliness and easy charm. They are fantastic people and role models and I am so blessed to have them in my life.
​
​
Some of the most special memories I have with them are what we call "Tini Time" where we spend the evening talking, laughing, sharing stories, making memories and... of course... drinking cocktails.
I am eager to bring that same spirit, warmth, authenticity and feeling of inclusiveness to every experience with BOGAR + BEV.
​
Thank you for supporting my small, combat veteran, LGBTQ+, woman owned business.
​
CHEERS!
xx- Tera
