If you took the tube during London Cocktail Week last year - you might have seen the friendly and familiar faces of some cracking hospitality folk used within our advertising. We loved the chance to showcase them as people, the bars they worked within and what they loved about being in this business - so much so we’re doing it again!
L-R : Brianna (Lower Third), Giorgia (Demon, Wise & Partners), Anas (The Zetter Townhouse), Marcus (Beaufort Bar at The Savoy), Liana (Side Hustle at The NOMAD), Marcello (Blue Bar at The Berkeley), Angele (Bar Americain), Julija (Silverleaf), Allessandro (Three Sheets).
In July, we made an open call to all the bars taking part in the festival, inviting bartenders and front of house staff to have their photograph taken for this year's campaign. The three day photoshoot that came from that was a total joy and a real celebration of what it means to be a bartender.
L-R : Sotirios (The Spy Bar at Raffles London), Jerson (Pollen Street Social), Rasa (Home Bar), Remy (A Bar With Shapes for a Name), Benedetta (Happiness Forgets), Jack (Shochu Lounge), Chiara (Henson's at Mimi's Hotel), Luca (Two Spoons), Jack (Three Sheets).
These portraits (and many many more) were taken by our dear friend and longtime collaborator Addie Chinn and were gifted to all the volunteers to use professionally when applying for new jobs or within their social media. All these fine people will be making your drinks during this year’s London Cocktail Week. Now that’s a Cocktail Tour in itself!
L-R : Ryan (Murder Inc), Giuseppe (Nightjar), Sana (Funkidory), Giovanni (Blue Bar at The Berkeley), Michaela (Nightjar), Engji (Scales Bar), Maeve (Paloma Café), Reuben (Silverleaf), Jade (Silverleaf).
Keep your eyes peeled for the class of 2024 hitting the London underground soon.
