28 Hong Kong Street Bar Takeover - Ek Bar, Defense Colony

A popular establishment that has become known as one of the cornerstones of the burgeoning Singapore bar scene and climbed to number 25 on the World’s 50 Best Bars list for 2017, 28 HongKong Street takes its cocktails seriously, and serves up beautifully complex, balanced classics or more bespoke creations, all accompanied by bar snacks that are touted as ‘almost legendary.’ And to give Delhi a taste of these legendary offerings, Ek Bar, the modern cocktail bar with a distinctly Indian flair, is collaborating with 28 HongKong Street.

On June 21 and 22, 2018, Co-Bar Captain Lukas Kaufmann and Sous Chef Richie Tam will represent 28 HKS in a take-over of Ek Bar, for a one-of-its-kind pop-up event. The dynamic team will offer Delhiites an exclusive, conceptual cocktail menu, inspired by the “Golden Age” of cocktails (between the 1860’s and Prohibition). This was when bartenders started to develop inventive versions of cocktails based around and inspired by their region’s aesthetic and style.

This exciting collaboration is the first in a series of carefully-curated associations that Ek Bar is focusing on through the year, choosing partners that share a similar culinary philosophy, and look to champion the finest regional ingredients.
