The Ruby Lounge London: Mr Lyan X Johnnie Walker Black Ruby

Step inside The Ruby Lounges - a bold new masterclass series from Johnnie Walker Black Ruby, designed to ignite creativity and elevate bartenders across the UK. An immersive experience that blends world-class training with the energy of modern cocktail culture.

Hosted by Mr Lyan (Ryan Chetiyawardana) - the globally renowned bartender and creative force who’s redefined how the world approaches drinks - alongside Johnnie Walker Brand Ambassadors Adam Hussein and Stefanie Anderson, The Ruby Lounges will take you deep into the art of storytelling, flavour innovation, and next-level serve design. Expect inspiration that pushes your craft forward, helping you stand out behind the bar and beyond.

At the heart of the day sits the Flavour Workshop, where you’ll explore hyper-locality, micro-seasonality, and inventive preservation techniques. Discover how to transform ingredients over time, layer flavours with contrast and harmony, and uncover unobvious yet powerful creative solutions. It’s about more than taste - it’s about mastering sensation, association, and the future of flavour.

Alongside hands-on cocktail sessions, you’ll join Ryan for a personal brand-building workshop and open Q&A - a rare chance to learn directly from one of the industry’s most influential innovators.

This is where Scotch meets creativity, where discovery meets celebration, and where bartenders come to be inspired, empowered, and ready to reimagine what’s possible in every glass.
