In collaboration with Public Hospitality, the team behind Maybe Sammy โ Australiaโs highest internationally ranked cocktail bar โ is gearing up to stage its first homegrown festival between April 12-19, drawing on acclaimed mixologists from around the globe.
Dubbed the inaugural Maybe Cocktail Festival, this week-long series of activations will see bartenders from 15 internationally acclaimed venues (including 12 from last yearโs 50 Best Bars list) slinging their signature libations across the entire Maybe Group portfolio.
These include crown jewel Maybe Sammy; classic hotel lounge Dean & Nancy; coffee/aperitivo purveyor Sammy Junior; and of course, El Primo Sanchez โ the groupโs new soon-to-open Mexican concept, located in Paddington.

While the full lineup of international talent wonโt be announced until some time in March, names which are currently already locked in for the Maybe Cocktail Festival include Tres Monos (Argentina), BKK Social Club (Thailand) and multiple U.S. venues including Sweet Liberty and Cafe La Trova.
The kicker is that all takeovers happening throughout the week are free to attend: although weโd wager that seating will be allocated on a โfirst come, first servedโ basis โ as good of a reminder as any for inveterate boozehounds to set their calendar alerts.
