Last night Espolòn hosted an evening to remember at the legendary House of Yes in response to the sentiment that Romance is Dead. The evening was all about getting off your phone and making a connection IRL. In addition to all of the fun activations, guests experienced an electric performance by Cakes da Killa, as well as music by DJ Byrell the Great. Throughout the evening there were cage dancers, aerialists and acrobatics provided by the House of Yes performers.

The fun began upon arrival, where guests were challenged to lock up their phones. If they accepted, they were rewarded with “cock cash” to use inside at Espolòn’s Black Market. When guests grabbed their first drink; Espolòma, Espolòn Batanga or Espolòn on the Rocks, pending their choice they were given a drink card directing them to the Photo Booth to capture moments with friends and strangers that could be immediately shared out to their social media, Black Market where they could gamble with the “cock cash” for swag, or Truth Or Dare which saw guests strutting the room, getting down and doing a push-up contest and doing their best rooster crow.

As guests started to mingle with other guests at these activations, a House of Yes performer clad as a calavera was deployed in the room to randomly select two people to pair together in the secret Onyx Room to “Meet IRLife over Espolòn.” Whether platonic or romantic, guests were seated in groups of two to get to know each other and strike up conversation while enjoying an Espolòn Tequila Tasting of the: Blanco, Reposado, Añejo and exclusively offered in this room, the Añejo X, each paired with a different flavored Raaka Chocolate; Pink Sea salt, Coconut Milk, Ghost Pepper and Smoked Chai.
