All about cocktails, cocktail bars, and more. (Birmingham, and elsewhere)
Today marks the start of the second London Cocktail Week which runs until the 16th October. Whether you are part of the industry or just a consumer there is a lot going on.

It’s always the way, I’m in London but can’t get to yet another great sounding event! Bombay Sapphire have an event tomorrow (Wednesday 8th June) where guests will embark a luxury yacht at The Savoy Pier, and set sail down the thames whilst enjoying creative cocktails, food and unexpected adventures.

Polpo the well known Soho restaurant on Beak St are to open a Campari bar. Those who have been to Polpo will no doubt be familiar with their Aperol Spritz, so it’s nice to see they are also fans of Campari. No doubt a Negroni or two will be made in the new bar. It’s [...]
Whilst Selfridges might not always be the cheapest place to buy rum online, or offline (or your other spirits from!), they are good at hosting events and tastings and in the next two weeks across the Birmingham, Manchester and London stores there are a host of great tastings on offer. The events are starting off [...]
