A great bar always starts with the people who work at the bar.

We are rolling out the red carpet for our next Muse of the Month event to welcome Erik Lorincz, World Class Bartender of the Year 2010, former head bartender at The Savoy’s American Bar (overseeing its rise to The World’s Best Bar in 2017), and current co-owner of Kwānt in London - #31 on the coveted World’s 50 Best Bars list. 

His precise, Japanese-inspired service techniques, creativity and flair made Erik Lőrincz an icon in the craft cocktail world internationally and often we can see him appear on movie sets as well as on fashion brand campaigns. 

We’re thrilled to be able welcome him behind the MÚZSA bar for an unforgettable night, courtesy of London Essence Hungary and Spirit Hub.
