Don Papa Rum's Casa Sugarlandia Filipino Pop-up in Shoreditch

Don Papa Rum is opening a 3 week Filipino pop-up at 46 Great Eastern Street on 22nd May 2019, featuring lots of rum, lots of cocktails, food from Filipino chefs Sarap, The Adobros, and Food with Mae, and even Karaoke nights.  There will also be two ticketed supper clubs - Food with Mae on Tues 28th May, and The Adobros on Weds 5th June.  This is going to be excellent!

"Casa Sugarlandia runs from 22nd May to 8th June, taking over a two-storey venue on Shoreditch’s Great Eastern Street, revamped as a fully set-designed space, offering Londoners a spectacular taste of the island of Sugarlandia in the Philippines via some of its customs, flavours and flora.  
Inspired by the real Filipino island of Negros, known locally as “Sugarlandia”, guests are encouraged to venture into a multi-sensory world where all is not as it seems.  Programme highlights include “Masked Karaoke”, hosted by international drag collective Sink The Pink, dining experiences from some of the capital’s leading names in Filipino cuisine and a bespoke menu of Don Papa house cocktails.
While the programme changes weekly, there are some mainstays, and those with a penchant for Karaoke will be able to jump on the microphone, Filipino-style each week.  Invented in the Philippines in 1973, Karaoke comes to the Casa on Thursdays, kicking off on Thursday 23rd May with the queens of Sink the Pink hosting proceedings. For those on the shy side or simply hoping to coax out their alter egos, there’s also the option to don a mask to spare their blushes and truly let loose. This isn’t your regular sing along, but Masked Karaoke, Sugarlandia style.
The in-house menu comes courtesy of a rolling roster of three chef teams each presenting their take on the flavour of the Philippines. Nicknamed “Asia’s last secret cuisine”, Filipino food upholds rich flavours and displays a wide range of culinary techniques emanating from the 7,000 islands that make up the Philippines. BBQ chefs SARAP line up alongside London supper club chefs Mae Williams and The Adobros.
There will also be two, ticketed supper club experiences at Casa Sugarlandia. Mae Williams brings her authentic flavours for a five-course menu (28th May) whilst The Adobros present their distinct culinary classics (4th June). Both menus will include a complimentary Don Papa cocktail and the rum as an ingredient in a selection of dishes.
On another night, concoctions will be served with exquisitely edible sugar-spun garnishes designed by the artist Fernando La Posse showcasing the provenance of the unique Filipino sugar used to make Don Papa."

Pizzas include; Margarita, Portobello and Meat Feast as well as the unmissable sweet S'mores pizza, a base covered in Nutella and topped with toasted marshmallows, banana or strawberries. 
The Feast will bring the deep-south to the beach with their tender, dry rib, honey glazed pulled pork burgers, slow-cooked BBQ brisket burgers, Chicken Wings and halloumi fries. 
Fulham Beach will play host to a series of beach games ranging from table tennis to shuffleboard, and mini golf to beer pong. For film buffs out there, Beach Club Cinema nights will host a series of screenings every Tuesday, showing the cult classics and guilty pleasures. On Saturdays, it's all about sun, sand and sipping cocktails or bottomless rosé.

A Map of all the Pop-ups for London Cocktail Week October 2018

London Cocktail Week (LCW) takes place from Monday 1st - Sunday 7th October 2018 all around London.  As in previous years, I've created a map of all of the pop-ups and bar takeovers (blue ones are open for 3 days or more, purple is for shorter than that).

Moonshine Saloon - the Immersive Pop-up Wild West Bar on the King's Road

Moonshine Saloon is an immersive Wild West bar on the King's Road, where visitors get measured up for a stetson and cowboy gear (perfect for photo opportunities), and then head down to the saloon to drink moonshine cocktails.  It's open Thursday to Saturdays from 24th May - 25th August, and £33.99 gets you a 1 hour 45 minute slot, with 4 cocktails (you can pay extra once you're there, and stay longer.)  Looking forward to trying this!

"From the team behind the sell-out BYOB bar concept, Alcotraz, comes Moonshine Saloon, a one-of-a-kind immersive cocktail bar experience which is set to transport guests from the streets of West London to the streets of the Wild West.
Located on the King’s Road, Moonshine Saloon is the centre of an undercover moonshine empire, a mysterious underworld where everyone looks out for themselves and nothing is quite as it seems.
Inspired by the captivating tales of the Wild West and its covert operations, Moonshine Saloon invites guests to bring their own liquor to be granted entry to the undercover saloon and into the dark world of moonshining.
Upon entering, apprentice moonshiners encounter a street that looks like it’s been plucked straight from the dusty towns of the Wild West. First stop is the local tailor, who will measure guests up for Stetson Hats and Cowboy gear, ensuring they don’t attract attention in the West for the wrong reasons.
Once they look the part, The King of The Moonshiners will grant guests exclusive access into the shadiest spirit making business in town. Upon being taken downstairs to the Saloon, they can try their luck at card and dice games, exchange tales of life in the West and enjoy personalised moonshine cocktails, all while evading the beady eye of the local Sheriff. Those who manage to escape the Law as a Moonshiner in the Saloon are invited to stop for a refreshment in the General Store before leaving the Wild West!
The unique concept, created by Inventive Productions, aims to build on the successful path that Alcotraz paved by offering drinks crafted by highly experimental mixologists, all without rules and menus to follow."
