It’s a testament to the consistency, passion, and dedication our team brings day in, day out. Quite simply, this company wouldn’t be what it is without the people behind it - the ones who go above and beyond to deliver exceptional work, support one another, and push standards higher every single time. From late-night builds to global activations, it’s the energy, creativity, and commitment of our team that defines who we are.

We’re excited to introduce Coca-Cola MIX. A new platform reshaping how Great Britain mixes with cola - building on its place at the centre of some of the world’s most loved drinks. Created in collaboration with Giulia Cuccurullo and Pritesh Mody, the platform brings together leading voices from the bar world to inspire new ways of mixing, serving and enjoying Coca-Cola. Coca-Cola MIX connects bartender creativity with real drinking culture - designed to live across bars, retail and cultural moments, wherever people drink. The platform will also be present at BCB London this May, offering the trade an early opportunity to experience it firsthand, with Giulia and Pritesh behind the bar. “Coca-Cola has always been at the centre of how people mix and drink - Coca-Cola MIX gives that truth a platform, a creative direction, and a reason to keep growing.” Daniel Nemni, Coca-Cola GB. 🔴 Client - @cocacola 🎥 Production - @delightfulmedia @delightfuldrinks 🥤 Drinks Styling - @taragarnell 👗 Styling - @lilyrimr 💚 Creative & Platform Management - @globalbartending Do not share with anyone under legal purchase age.

To see three venues achieve it in a single announcement, across three different cities and three very different concepts, is a genuine landmark moment for us.” Swipe for more…👀 #ThePinnacleGuide #ExceptionalHospitality

ANNOUNCING THE LATEST ADDITIONS TO THE LIST OF 3 PIN BARS. Since The Pinnacle Guide launched, only one bar has earned 3 PIN status. Lyaness in London achieved this accolade in October 2024 - and through subsequent announcements, it remained the only bar in the world to hold this status. Today, that changes. 3 PIN bars are Exceptional venues operating at the absolute highest level of hospitality anywhere in the world. To reach this status, a bar must demonstrate Exceptional performance in its written application and deliver an Exceptional experience across multiple Anonymous Reviews. We set this bar deliberately, and we do not lower it. We are proud to announce that three additional venues have now met that standard. Congratulations to the teams at @barkumiko in Chicago, @champagnebaratthesurfclub in Miami, and @line.athens in Athens. There are now four 3 PIN bars in the world.

Today we proudly celebrate the 8th anniversary of Global Bartending 🥂 What started as a vision has grown into something far bigger than I ever imagined — and that’s thanks to an incredible team who share the same passion, discipline, and belief. Every milestone we’ve reached is a reflection of our collective effort, resilience, and commitment to excellence. 2025 was a defining year, nearly doubling the business, strengthening our foundations and proving what’s possible when the right people move together with purpose. Along this journey, we’ve now proudly produced over 200 events globally, connecting brands, bartenders, and communities across continents and cultures. As we look toward 2026, ambition is higher than ever. Marketing is evolving rapidly with AI, technology integration, and changing needs from both consumers and brands. To continue our growth trajectory, we’ll move at pace, lead with culture, stay adaptive, and keep pushing boundaries — as we continue to drive the global drinks industry forward. This journey is ours, and the best chapters are still ahead. 🚀🍸
