Up on Cane and Grain’s middle floor, visitors will be treated to a bespoke drinks menu created in collaboration with Portobello Road Gin and Old Forester, with guest DJs on hand to soundtrack your sipping. Continue up to their top-floor tiki hideaway The Liars Lounge and you’ll find even more birthday cocktails, this time curated by rum faves Appleton and Bacardi, with live music served up by Skittles, Truthos Mafuasa, Bricks & Metrodome from Levelz. Talk about celebrating in style.
