Jim is back tonight for a Trip back to the 60s. All the swinging hits from the decade that changed pop music forever.

One of the biggest names in the rum game. Diplomático is ubiquitous with premium rum; it's the gateway rum for many of us. It is undeniably very tasty gear; also, chocolate is pretty good too! The two together should be pretty bloomin amazing. Come down to try the whole diplo range. Plus, a cocktail on entry. This tasting is very likely to sell out; get a ticket now to avoid disappointment. Link in bio

Vaultage events have teamed up with our good friends from “Full Fat” for a special late-night journey into bass, beats & subsonics in the
beautiful cocktail and rum bar Milk!

Locals will know what a stunning hidden gem of a venue this is with a welcoming, cozy laid-back vibe and atmosphere. Full Fat have held a monthly residency at Milk since 2012 and we’re excited to team up with them for this event.

Vaultage residents Mat Carter and Alex Darby join Full Fat’s Lebrosk and Gilbert to bring an intimate evening of quality audio.

Doors 5pm DJs from 7pm, late license ‘til 2am, last entry at midnight.

Pax Easy is back behind the decks tonight, with a very special guest, his dad! Papa Pax used to play at Milk many moons ago, and always smashed it, very happy to have him back!

Super excited for some more Mezcal tasting. Koch works with over 50 local producer families across multiple communities in Oaxaca, Mexico. They focus on traditional production methods, agave biodiversity, and sustainability, including bottlings made from rare or wild agave subspecies. Equals = A really, really cool and a very tasty, diverse range.
Hosted by Koch ambassador Mario Teruel this one is going to be fun.
Cocktails upon arrival to get you started, too.
Over half the tickets are already sold.
