| - I wish every time there was a plot twist, it was as epic as late night visit to The Punch Room.
You see, this was not part of our original plan. After dinner, we just wanted to grab a glass of wine next door to the restaurant we were at, but it was closing.
So when Yelp Charlotte's very Nikki W, looks down at her phone and tells you, "We're going to the Ritz" you wipe the puzzle off your face and follow.
First, don't be like me and get distracted by all of the shiny things. Keep it on moving upstairs to The Punch Room.
I actually love that I had no idea where we were going or why, because it only made walking into the adrogynously chic and timelessly sexy lounge that is the Punch Room.
And that was just the door opening to Oz.
Then there was The Wizard: Bob Peters
Holy moly, this guy knows his craft and is undeniably passionate about. In fact, he's way better than The Wizard in The Wizard of Oz, because he's actually the real deal.
Not only did we get a front row seat at the bar (mind you we were the only group present at the time so we had the pleasure of having the space to ourselves) but watching Bob work is part entertaining, part educational and 100% a special experience.
We tried a few drinks off The Fall menu, took a taste of the punch of the day, and then watched Bob doing spectacular cocktail wizardry with flames, and special tools, and ice and all the things. It was truly a night I'll always remember.
Thanks so much to Bob and team for your dedication to what you do, and for the time you spent with us! We enjoyed every minute (and sip) of it!
