Info: Close out Day Three of AAPI Cocktail Week with a night dedicated to the women who keep our industry moving forward.
On Tuesday, May 27, from 9PM to midnight, we’re taking over The Felix, San Francisco’s sleek underground speakeasy tucked beneath Bodega SF — velvet booths, Mahjong-tiled tables, and all the late-night energy you could ask for.
Spinning for the night, the Bay’s own DJ Umami will keep the room moving, blending R&B, soul, and feel-good anthems to set the perfect vibe.
Behind the bar, catch two of the city’s rising talents: Sofia Ramos of Third Rail and Ashley of Cavana SF, mixing up a menu of unforgettable cocktails crafted just for the occasion.

Info: Who’s got the fastest hands in the West? We’re putting the best behind the bar to the test in this no-holds-barred speed competition. “Fastest Hands in the West” is a high-octane bartending showdown that pits top trade talent against each other in a head-to-head race against the clock—and the crowd.
This isn’t just about flair or finesse. It’s about speed, accuracy, and composure under pressure. Competitors will be judged on how quickly (and cleanly) they can churn out a round of drinks while under the watchful eye of industry judges, guest bartenders, and a rowdy audience ready to cheer (or jeer). Expect timed rounds, surprise challenges, and lightning-fast pours as bartenders compete for all the bragging rights.
Info: Cold Drinks — the hidden gem perched above China Live — is proud to host a one-night-only pop-up with Zest, one of Seoul’s most exciting cocktail bars.
Known for their vibrant, forward-thinking drinks and sleek, effortless hospitality, Zest has quickly earned a reputation as one of South Korea’s must-visit bars, redefining modern cocktail culture in Asia. On May 28, they bring their boundary-pushing spirit to Cold Drinks’ moody, luxurious space — a tucked-away cocktail lounge that marries old-world Chinatown intrigue with contemporary elegance.
Expect a night of daring flavors, creative technique, and an intimate window into one of Asia’s most dynamic bar scenes — all framed by the rich cultural layers of San Francisco’s historic Chinatown.
Your ticket includes a welcome cocktail by Cold Drinks, a curated selection of food, and access to this exclusive experience.
