We kicked off Tales with back-to-back kis with our closest friends, family, and peers in the industry on Sunday night to set our spirits up for success during our 2nd Tales of The Cocktail (and first Tales as a nominee for Best New Bar in the South!).

We started the evening with our friends at FAIR with a party hosted by the one-and-only Phil Minnisale and his lip-smacking, thirst-inducing portfolio of some of the most adventurous and boundary-pushing sips this side of the Mississippi.

We turned ALL THE WAY UP with our friends at JungleBird 504, Cheramie Rum, and River Basin Distillery as we wound up and whined down to the smooth selections of our fav – DJ RQ Away. Let’s just say – if you couldn’t make it – we’re sorry. And hope to see you next time, because this sh*t was LIT.
