The intimate and unique event hosted in the Elk Room had a loyal and dedicated following when monthly sessions were run through 2014 and 2015. In a (delayed) celebration of The Everleigh’s 10th year (now 11!), the stories and drinks of a time gone by are coming back to life in this gorgeous bar once again.

“I was fascinated with Michael’s impressive collection of classic cocktail books and expert insight into the characters and drinks that shaped the history of mixed drinks. After much encouragement, I persuaded him to invite Everleigh regulars back in time, diving deep into the books, figures and drinks that defined, and continue to have significant influence on cocktail culture, “ says Zara Madrusan.

For the third edition taking place on Tuesday 27th September The Everleigh’s very own Venue Manager, Katya Owens will lead the discussion on the people, events and drinks that defined a moment in time. Travel back to 1892, where cocktails and their history will be explored as depicted by William Schmidt in his book “The Flowing Bowl — What and When to Drink”.
