Rome is home to an '80s-style underground lounge just a jaunt away from the famed Colosseum. A playground of mixologist Patrick Pistolesi, Drink Kong dabbles in Japanese futurism set to a neon-lit interior. Since its inception in 2018, the bar has earned various awards and has consistently ranked on The World's 50 Best Bars list. This month, the bar is catching a flight over to New York for one night only.
On March 25, the Italian bar will take over Flatiron's massive 24,000-square-foot dual restaurant, Aqua. The first bar to kick off Aqua’s guest shift series, four of Drink Kong's classics will be shaken, stirred and poured all night long. In partnership with Weber Ranch Vodka, Aqua and Drink Kong have also created a specialty cocktail, Aqua Kong Reverb (vodka, rhubarb honey and liquor, lemon juice, and pink peppercorn tincture). The cocktail will be available during the evening and will be on menu for a limited time. Tickets are $20 and include one drink. Purchase yours here.
