No. 41 on Asia’s 50 Best Bars, Vender bar from Taiwan prides itself on ‘vendering’ happiness to every guest that walks through the door.

Lorenzo Antinori of Bar Leone guest shift at Lennon’s
31 January, 8pm-midnight
Pop in and shout “ciao bello” because the talented Lorenzo Antinori is in town. He founded Bar Leone in Hong Kong just last year, and the reviews have been nothing short of raving. The bar is known for serving interesting twists on timeless classics, and we’re hoping to see (and taste) at least a couple when Lorenzo is behind Lennon’s station. Coupled with the great vibes people know Lennon’s for, it’s going to be a night to remember.

World Pisco Day celebration at Above Eleven

Who knew that the Pisco Sour gets its own day? Pisco is a herbal, floral spirit distilled from grapes. Shake it with some lime juice, syrup, and egg white, then garnish with a few drops of bitters — voila, you have a silky smooth cocktail perfect for any occasion. Above Eleven is celebrating with a buy-one-get-one deal on Pisco Sours all night long, and it’s perfect to enjoy with the rooftop breeze the venue offers.
