Cocktail Dinner

Hors d’Oeuvres - 6:00pm
Dinner - 7:00pm
With the help of King of Cocktails, Dale DeGroff, we launched our first craft-cocktail list at Stage Left in 1992. In case you’re wondering, that makes ours the oldest craft cocktail program in America…and we’re still getting better all the time.
Thirty years on, this calls for a celebration! We’re going to do just that, with an epic cocktail dinner in collaboration with The King himself. We’re also going to have our friend, James Beard-nominated author and New York Times drinks writer Robert Simonson with his new book, The Encyclopedia of Cocktails. It’s a lively A-to-Z compendium of the notable drinks, bartenders, and bars that shaped the cocktail world and produced the golden age of cocktails that we enjoy today.
A Historic Dinner
A celebration of the new golden age of cocktails that we helped usher in, with the unquestioned founder of the movement and its preeminent chronicler in America’s oldest craft cocktail bar!
“The Encyclopedia of Cocktails is akin to a perfect bar, chock-full of traditional wisdom along with intriguing new information.”—Toby Maloney, founder of The Violet Hour
We’ll have books available for purchase and signing.
