On the menu, there’s an innovative selection of drinks, featuring a range of classics and signature creations from the man himself, including the likes of Oskar’s famous Beer Grylls which fuses Diplomatico Blanco Rum, Boudier Banane, Damoine de Canton, Lime juice and Manuka Honest, which is then topped with Einstök White Ale.
Aside from his work at Dabbous, and the pair’s latest casual-dining venture Barnyard, Oskar has also taught mixology courses at the London Bar School as well as having been in charge of some of The Cuckoo Club’s events taking place outside of the UK, notably including the Ocean’s 13 party at Cannes Film Festival, as well as a private event for rapper Kanye West.
