#LatinxIndustryNight
A cultural production series started by me in Philadelphia
These guest bar shift events showcase rising hospitality stars across the Latinx diaspora — including PunchDrink.com’s Best New Bartender of 2024, World Class U.S. Top 100 Bartenders, and U.S. Bartenders’ Guild members — through a one-night-only menu inspired by their patria.
Want to help support bartenders and emerging brands across the Latinx diaspora and get your name in front of new consumers (or potential partners)? I’m seeking financial sponsors, product donations, and marketing partners across food and beverage.
