The Emory X Tato
Legendary Argentinian bartender Renato ‘Tato’ Giovannoni, founder of acclaimed Florería Atlántico bar in Buenos Aires, and winner of the World’s 50 Best Bar’s Industry Icon Award, is heading to London this September for a takeover at The Emory Rooftop Bar, Knightsbridge. Usually accessed by hotel guests only, the bar will be open for outside reservations during Tato’s residency. The Emory X Tato offers a rare chance to experience his award-winning cocktails along with spectacular 360-degree views of the capital’s skyline, at London’s best kept secret rooftop.

Cocktails with an Atlantic twist
Open from Friday 6th of September till Tuesday 5th of November, The Emory X Tato pop-up will serve an exclusive edit of his renowned signature cocktails. The menu and ingredients are inspired by Tato’s childhood in Buenos Aires on the coast of the Atlantic Ocean. Standout cocktails include the Negroni Balestrini made with Tato’s own gin brand ‘Principe de los Apostoles’. In addition, there will be an ever-changing ‘Bloody Mary of the Week’ featuring different ingredients such as cacao, red wine and mango, as well as a Garua Martini for the nostalgic Buenos Aires vibe. As a signature touch, a trio of Argentinian snacks will also circulate every night, including Tato’s favourite King crab and prawn empanadas served with a squeeze of lime on the side.
A taste of Argentina
Tato will be joined by his friend and partner, hospitality legend Alex Resnik during his tenure. They will create seductive touches, from a specially created Argentinian music playlist complete with dramatic tango tracks, tattoos of sea creatures artfully hand drawn by Tato, and colourful floral displays, a standout feature of Florería Atlántico.
Commenting on his pop up at The Emory, Tato said “London has always had a special place in my heart since I came to study over 30 years ago. I have even named one of my favourite cocktails ‘Mary Poppins Barley Water’ as a tribute to my childhood memories of the city.”
The Emory X Tato pop-up will run from Friday 6th of September – Tuesday 5th of November, open from 5pm – 1 am. Reservations are essential. For further information and to book, please visit the website.
