Jakarta, August 24 2023 — Phoenix Gastro Bar enthusiastically introduces an innovative event series called “Bar Take Over.” This event offers a range of captivating concepts about cocktails, encompassing diverse flavors and taste preferences.
Bar Take Over features local bartenders in the “Local Heroes” segment, where the showcased bartenders come from both Indonesia and internationally to provide a comprehensive understanding of cocktail culture, flavor variations, and the unique tastes of different cocktail types to visitors.
“We were inspired to organize the ‘Bar Take Over’ event out of our desire to contribute to the bar industry in Indonesia. We aim to create meaningful and entertaining experiences while introducing Phoenix Gastro Bar to a wider audience,” explained Don Chino, Executive Chef of Phoenix Gastro Bar.
One of the standout menu items from Bar Take Over is “Ronde Ronde” by Slamet Haryadi. Slamet Haryadi himself is the Global Winner of the Herno Gin Cocktail Awards and Head Mixologist of Secret Society Hong Kong.
Ronde Ronde successfully combines the flavors of “wedang jahe” (ginger-infused drink) and ginger balls with alcoholic beverages, creating a unique and complex taste experience.
In the future, Phoenix, as the event organizer, plans to bring in more accomplished bartenders to introduce cocktail culture in Indonesia.
“We are very excited about the development of this event. We intend to involve renowned bartenders locally and internationally in upcoming events to enhance the diversity of flavors and skills showcased,” Don Chino said.
Bar Take Over will become a regular monthly event. The following Bar Take Over session is scheduled for September 1st, featuring bartender Brendon Khoo, the Brand Ambassador of Monkey Shoulder Southeast Asia. For more information, please visit Instagram @phoenixbar.id and the website www.hwgroup.id.
