Cocktail Hour with RJ Hunter
Tonight, poetry and cocktails will combine to create the greatest mix of all! Mixologist Jamie Shields from Ruma will take you through a dizzying array of luscious cocktails, sharing each drink’s story and history while you sip away. Our raucous poet for the evening, RJ Hunter, will be your poetic aperitif, with a poem or two to accompany each drink.
RJ’s work explores the queer experience and gender anarchy, as well as highlighting the joy and freedom that comes with both of those things.
This event is for 18+ only and ticket price covers the cocktails (and poetry) at this event, but please note that there will be no non-alcoholic options.
