The boys are back in town! Slink on down to our basement for a lively night with Soul Livin’ Group.

Kingfisher x Videri Collab: A Hot Chocolate Tasting Night
Kingfisher x Videri Collab: A Hot Chocolate Tasting Night at Kingfisher
We've got our favorite trio behind the bar for this one night only tasting! Join Chocolatier and Videri Owner Sam Ratto along with a rotating appearance of Kingfisher Owner Sean Umstead and Cocktail Wizard/ Kingfisher Manager Richard Marin for an evening of classic fun and simply delicious hot chocolates.
They'll be playing around with various ingredients paired with and in hot chocolates, but know that a classic hot chocolate (NA or boozy version!) is on the menu, made the way we think it should always be made: with real, quality chocolate.
