O.D.B., Kurt Cobain, Amy Winehouse, Jimi Hendrix, MF Doom. What would you do if you had the chance to grab a drink with one of these icons?
Pondering this hypothetical is the new cool kid on the SoHo block, Dead Poets. The new concept holds a candle of reverence to the creative geniuses who have touched the hearts of many during their lifetimes and beyond, irrevocably shifting the cultural zeitgeist.
Helmed by the decorated Nikita Matveev – who also leads Asia’s 50 Best-listed The Old Man, only a short walk down the slope – drinkers can expect some creative cocktails alongside fresh draft brews from Hong Kong Beer Co and a dazzling curation of wines. Of course, cheeky specials and surprises will be presented on a rotating basis. The bar has also combined forces with Sauce Barbershop to offer haircuts as well as freshly brewed coffee during daylight hours, making it a triple-threat of a neighbourhood hangout.
Opening up the doors to their slick, metallic interiors for an official grand opening, join the Dead Poets team on Dec. 7 for a smashing block party to celebrate the lives of legends lost, and the new breath of life from this spectacular venue.
While Dead Poets has been created as a space for the people, it’s also one for those who spend their days behind the bar counter. Alongside this exclusive guest shift, aspiring mixologists can also check out a masterclass hosted by the renowned Dan Nevsky (otherwise known by his internet handle as @cocktailman) on Dec. 6 at Yarakucho.
