"What a splendid, well organised and insightful event. The entire team from the founders to the PR management and their guests treated their guests with extreme kindness. I had the pleasure of meeting the best international barmen who educated me on all things cocktails while also networking with creatives who happen to love cocktails and art. It was not just very insightful but everyone genuinely had a good time! A 10/10 event experience indeed. "

"The event was well organised, I enjoyed the variety of options, my only issue maybe to try and have all the bars in one place and make it a walking distance "
