La Bodega 47 Social Club, Harlem’s new hotspot, opened its doors on Friday, February 28th, 2014 night with a splash.
Celebrities and industry insiders showed up to fête NAACP Image Award Winner Sidra Smith (twin sister of actress Tasha Smith) and celebrate La Bodega’s entrance into the nightlife mix that is quickly evolving on Harlem’s Lenox Avenue.
Guests, who included Marcus Samuelsson, S. Epatha Merkerson, Jacque Reid, Tamron Hall, Chef Roblé and more, enjoyed a selection of rum based cocktails, as they mixed and mingled.
The Latin- and Caribbean-inspired La Bodega is a rum craft mixology concept that features cocktails skillfully created with a well-curated global collection of 47 of the finest rums from the Diaspora including Guyana, Venezuela, Jamaica, Trinidad, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Haiti, Dominican Republic, Brazil, West Indies, as well as local craft brands from New York.
La Bodega 47 Social Club is located (where Native once was) at 161 Lenox Avenue at 118h Street.
