Jerry Thomas Speakeasy Macau

Bar Stories Chapter 38 – Jerry Thomas Speakeasy

The Jerry Thomas Speakeasy came from the idea of bringing back to light the forgotten classic mixing style. In 2010 a group of bartenders decided to open a small club in the heart of Rome where colleagues, spirited, passionate, and curious industry representatives could meet and share their expertise and knowledge. This was actually the first Italian “secret bar”.

The years that follow have been made up of travels, constant study, cultural exchanges, seminars and loads of determination which led Jerry Thomas Speakeasy to become one of “The World’s 50 Best Bars” for five years in a row. Sample these creative concoctions by general manager Federico Tomasselli and mixologist Michele Garofalo at Vida Rica Bar.

When: Friday–Sunday, 9:00pm–till late, May 17–19, 2019

Where: Vida Rica Bar, Mandarin Oriental, Macau, 945 Avenida Dr. Sun Yat Sen, NAPE, Macau

For reservations, contact Vida Rica Bar by calling +853 8805 8928 or emailing [email protected]

macau carnival

Macao International Museum Day Carnival 2019

In order to celebrate the International Museum Day on May 18, 14 museums in Macau co-organized the annual Macao International Museum Day Carnival, themed The Mobile Museum – Praia Grande x Cultural Hub. The theme chosen by the International Council of Museums (ICOM) for International Museum Day 2019 is “Museums as Cultural Hubs: The Future of Tradition”, which in the broader sense suggests giving new meaning to traditions, including creating a communication platform where the public can co-create and share. The carnival aims to break through the geographical barriers between museums and inject them with new vitality by connecting them through the history of Praia Grande. It not only reflects the unique culture of Macao, but also gathers creativity to create synergies at the International Day Carnival.

On that day, the museums will host a rich variety of activities, including VR racing experience next to Nam Van Lake, storytelling of the “History and Evolution of the Streets in Praia Grande”, workshops on “Pedal Boat in Nam Van Lake, Clay, Music Box”, and miniatures of Macanese dishes in resin clay. There are also others, such as a workshop of miniatures of dragon boats in resin clay, a DIY craft workshop with recycled wine bottle for families and much more!
