Spirits
&amp; Spirits is a theatrical cocktail experience where every
drink unlocks a story. Your host — the mysterious Collector
— has spent a lifetime seeking out the dark corners of history,
where myths are born and legends refuse to die. Over the course of
the night, the Collector releases spirits from five strange and
wicked bottles, each revealing a tale and the cocktail that is paired
to it. Your journey begins in fog-drenched Venetian canals, where
romance and dread intertwine, before drawing you to a candlelit
Victorian séance parlor where the veil grows thin. From there,
the path darkens: a demon-haunted crossroads in Mexico, then deep
into the shadowed catacombs that once inspired Poe. The experience
ends around a campfire among friends… where darkness waits just
beyond the circle of light. Each bottle reveals a new tale, a new
atmosphere, and a handcrafted drink rooted fully in its world.
 Spirits &amp; Spirits is romantic. It’s darkly funny.
It’s just a little unsettling. And it’s the kind of night that
starts a conversation — and follows you home long after last call.
