Here's one for people who don't mind spending a lot of money on very good cocktails, but not "buy a ticket to Tokyo" amounts of money. Hidetsugu Ueno, the man behind World's 12th Best Bar High Five, is spending two days behind the oval bar at Il Bar as part of some new global pop-up event the hotel's putting on. Whatever! Ueno-san! Apart from being by all accounts just a hip cool dude, the man's an institution, as famous for cocktail-making as for carving sick ice diamonds. Joining him for the two-day guest shift will be long-time collaborator Nick Wu of Taipei's East End, as they create and name six cocktails (or mocktails, Ueno-san's a non-drinker) themed after Bvlgari locations worldwide. They'll be serving (presumably pricy, expensive) drinks from 8.30pm til late on March 30-31, though the special drinks menu will stay available until the end of April. But Ueno-san won't be there to make it so...
