When Ronnaporn from Mahaniyom Cocktail Bar in Bangkok joined us, he said it felt like home, and that is the highest compliment we can receive. His team brought the best of Bangkok's creative cocktail scene to Delhi, filling the bar with incredible energy and hospitality.

The team from Sentaku in Bologna, Italy, brought an incredible energy to their shift, serving over 200 cocktails in just two hours. Their visit was a powerful experience, challenging perceptions and showcasing the vibrant, high-energy reality of India's bar scene. It was a dream shift for all of us.

We had the pleasure of hosting the celebrated barman Roger from The Odd Couple in Shanghai. He was immediately struck by the energy and hospitality of our team and our city. It was a night of unforgettable sips, blending Shanghai's innovative spirit with our own traditions.

Andrew and Swami from Hope & Sesame in China shared their core philosophy with us: give the guests the best. Their customer-first approach and inventive, ingredient-inspired cocktails captivated everyone. It was a powerful reminder that the heart of hospitality is serving people what they love.

Apoorva from Vér, the bar at Nadodi in Kuala Lumpur, joined us for a mesmerising guest shift. He masterfully stirred up some unforgettable cocktails, sharing the unique flavours of Malaysia with our guests. We can't wait to visit him in KL for a shift at his bar.

We bridged borders with Bangkok's Messenger Service Bar for a mid-week takeover that felt like a weekend. They united strangers over spirited cocktails, bringing two capital cities together in our bar for a truly fine evening.

Delhi was treated to a double feature from Taiwan when the teams from Booking Taipei and Bar Pine took over our bar on consecutive nights. They stirred up incredible cocktails crafted with the native flavours of Taiwan, leaving us all wanting more.
