Our goal is to create and improve ambitious bars, restaurants and spirits brands by applying a comprehensive approach, which includes all the aspects from creating business philosophy and ergonomics to implementation of the communication strategy.

Liquid

Design

We specialise in this narrow segment

because we have grown in this field

and we fully understand that every

detail is essential for the ecosystem

of the entire project.

We have been working as bartenders,

ambassadors, marketing managers

and creators for a long time, so we

are able to create unique concepts

together with you today.

We started a conceptual online school for bartenders, where we teach how to create places with a great atmosphere and drinks with meanings and give ideas for their promotion.

During the course, you create a ready-made project and a plan for its promotion. That means you will be able to work with it once you graduate! We and the community will stay in touch with you to give our support.
