It's Been A Time

1/8/2019

Hats & Tatts, Sunday 13th January

And we're back. What a time it's been...

Bringing in 2019 with a bit of sparkle to shine on all of the pieces in us that make us want to exceed in our lives this year. Spanish for height; "Altura" will bring you just that thanks to Melbourne bartender and menace to your sobriety Will Krepop. Sundae will be a celebration of all things to motivate you to be the best that you can be and celebrate what y'all achieved in the industry in 2018 ('cause god damn it was a hard one to get through for a lot of us).

It's also been a damn time for people around the world. Homies help homies no matter where you're from or where you are so on that note; we are donating $2 from every cocktail sold to 663 To Zero who are striving to provide clean drinking water to remote areas of Uganda. Will has also created a memorabilia enamel pin for the event that will be available for a $5 donation which will go straight to the foundation.

For our hospo new years (let's be honest, we haven't stopped until this weekend coming) we have some drinks and good times for y'all...

Bacardi Legacy "Altura"
Smoked Pina Colada
Corpse Reviver 86
Snaiquiri's until we run dry (on us)

See y'all at the bar 🤘🏻

Class A

9/7/2016

Well, well, well.....
After two sold out events, unforgettable memories, countless shots and collective hangovers, it's time to start looking to the future and pushing the boundaries of just how far we can take this.

With the first events being focused all around a delectable tasting menu; the boys from Menace To Sobriety went above and beyond with their matchings so it'd be rude not to hand them the reigns and let them show us just what they're capable of!

Now we consider ourselves to be an educated lot and this event see's Menace's Adam Bothwell and Jimmy Burchett returning to the classroom to curate an exclusive cocktail list inspired by some of the more illicit things we come across in the industry.

Supporting these creations on the food front will be the boys from Uprooted, Paul Turner and Tom Hope with carefully constructed small plates which will match and enhance the experience..

Funky and soulful beats from Brownbear and a masterful display of artwork from Christopher Kennedy round out the evening with a few surprises up our sleeves. Be prepared for an expressive journey down the rabbit hole into the side of the industry no one talks about...

$30 gets you through the doors with a cocktail on arrival and a couple of canapés to kick things off and from there it's up to you to choose your own adventure.
Spots will be limited so get in quick to make sure you don't miss out!
