This week we’re showcasing the talented Russell Burgess, who has vast experience working in and around London’s vibrant cocktail scene.
In the last quarter of a century, Russell has been a pioneer in the nation’s capital, opening great bars such as Mahiki, The Box, the Crobar and Loves Company. He now runs an events and consultancy business called Wet & Dry, as well as the roaming bar Loves At!
The team from the original Loves bar present Loves At, serving the very best in classic cocktails, new creations and delightful libations. A roaming bar, check on their website to see where they’ll be bringing the party next, or check their shop to order cocktails nationwide to your door.
