The Pittsburgh Cultural Trust invites you to Cultured Cocktails, a celebration of our city’s Cocktail Renaissance.
Join us at the Benedum to explore the artistry and imagination behind your favorite drinks and spirits. Nationally-acclaimed mixologist Christopher Cardone and the hottest local bartenders will mix, shake, and stir the evening away, crafting signature cocktails and mocktails with their individual creative flair. Cocktail samples will be paired with food selections prepared by some of the most exclusive restaurants in Pittsburgh.
For cocktail connoisseurs and social sippers alike, the VIP experience offers your palate a new level of sophistication. Vermouth and Sherrys, Ports and Madieras may inhabit the dusty recesses of your home bar but their stories are a rich tapestry worthy of the resurgence of popularity they’re finding in the cultural hotspots of London, Singapore, and New York City. Find out what all the buzz is about at our Cultured Cocktail VIP Bar.
