Open bar has two meanings in the events market worth distinguishing before discussing Etro. The first is unlimited consumption at a fixed price. The second is an unlimited consumption service that maintains the same level of preparation and selection standard as if each drink were being paid for individually.
At Etro Rooftop, the open bar for events is the second type.
What “premium open bar” means at Etro
- Premium spirits selection: the bar base includes Colombian origin spirits (viche canao, artisan Antioquian aguardiente, aged Colombian rum) alongside international premium-category spirits.
- Cocktails prepared in the moment: Etro’s bar artists prepare each cocktail to order. That means the first drink of the evening has the same quality as the last.
- Signature cocktail for the event: the bar team can design a specific cocktail for the occasion, with a name related to the event and an adapted presentation. Learn more about Etro Rooftop’s author mixology and how each program is built.
Etro and bar personalization
The open bar at Etro functions as a coordination between the hotel’s events team and the rooftop’s bar team to design the right program for each event.
That coordination includes: defining the cocktail menu available at the bar, selecting the spirits base according to the group’s profile, deciding on a specific welcome cocktail for the arrival moment.
Coordination with Binn Hotel’s team
The bar service for private events is coordinated directly with Binn Hotel’s sales and events team, not with an external catering company.
Budget coordination is transparent: the team presents the bar proposal itemized so the event organizer can evaluate the total cost without surprises.
