June 18, 2026

This July, "Wing Lei Bar & Friends" is coming back for round two!

From July 24 to 29, 2026, the program takes over Wynn Palace for a six-day festival of guest shifts, late-night takeovers, and after-ceremony parties.

Wynn Resorts Macau is also the Official Host Partner of Asia's 50 Best Bars 2026 for the second consecutive year, serving as the principal stage for the region's premier bar awards on July 28, 2026. Alongside the award ceremony, official events including the Meet the Bartenders media roundtable, the Bartenders' Feast, and the Closing Party are sure to kick off the festivities and keep it going after the awarding.

At the center of the festival is Wing Lei Bar, Wynn Palace's flagship cocktail destination. This 2026, the "Wing Lei Bar & Friends" series draws more than 50 bartenders all over the world for a week of inspired mixology.

Organizers built the lineup around a theme of movement, echoing Wing Lei Bar's signature UNITY menu. Fittingly, the festival's opening night doubles as the debut of UNITY 2.0, the bar's second cocktail chapter: 12 drinks built from personal stories Director of Bars Mark Lloyd gathered during a year on the road. Guests can experience the showcase on July 24 (4 to 6 PM) and July 28 (5 to 6 PM).

On the evening of July 24, from 8 PM till late, Wing Lei Bar is setting the tone for guest shifts with "Asia Checks In, Let's Shake Up." Guest bars include ZLB23 (Bangalore), Avoca (Hong Kong), Bar Sathorn (Bangkok), and Stay Gold (Singapore).

The following day, on July 25, "The Road Less Traveled" converges in Wing Lei Bar, bringing together Nomad Lab (Ulaanbaatar), Barc (Kathmandu), which is Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 Michter's Art of Hospitality Award winner, and Kiki Lounge (Douglas), which earned The Spirits Business Awards Bar of the Year 2024. Catch their drinks from 5 to 8 PM.

Right after their shift, the Brits are taking over with "The Best of British II," from 8 PM till late. Bargoers can expect displays of contemporary British bar culture from Below Stairs (Leeds), Bar Glue (Liverpool), and Passing Fancies (Birmingham).

While a more relaxed Sunday event on July 26 is expected, Wing Lei continues to bring their A-game, putting together another takeover that cannot be missed with "Shake & Stir Hall of Fame." Influential industry figures are taking over: Quinary and The Opposites (Hong Kong bars) Co-Owner Antonio Lai is mixing alongside Founder of Danico (Paris) and Kota Pandan Liqueur Nico De Soto. This is only from 2 to 4 PM.

That evening, from 6 PM till late, Altos Bartenders' Bartender honorees are working behind the stick. Jay Khan (2020 awardee, founder of COA) and Andrew Ho (2025 awardee, co-founder of Hope & Sesame) are opening from 6 PM. While Keith Motsi (2022 awardee, head bartender of VIRTÙ) and Beckaly Franks (2023 awardee, co-founder of Call Me AL and ARTIFACT) take over from 8 pm onwards.

"Drink Thy Neighbors - a Hong Kong Takeover" kicks off the following week on July 27 with a takeover sponsored by Rémy Cointreau. Four bars from the neighboring island are mixing it up from 2 to 5 PM: Bourke's, Swim Club, Honky Tonks Tavern, and The Green Door.

That evening, from 5 to 7 PM, friends from Malaysia are taking over with "From KL with Love." Asia's 50 Best Bars 2025 No. 16, Three X Co, and No. 10, Penrose, are bringing their sophisticated cocktails to Wing Lei Bar.

The "Cocktail Man," Danil Nevsky from Barcelona, keeps the party going on July 27 from 10 PM till late. His shift on the eve of the ceremony is expected to raise the tempo for what is the region's biggest cocktail award.

On July 28, Wing Lei Bar is bringing together female powerhouses with "Behind Her Bar" from 2 to 5 PM. The lineup is curated by Jen Queen and Nicole Slater of The Pontiac, along with Beckaly Franks of ARTIFACT and Call Me AL. Alongside the curators are guest bartenders, including Zana Möhlmann of Manhattan (Singapore), Evangeline Malley of Below Stairs (Leeds), Arlene Wong of The Green Door (Hong Kong), and Nic Ho of Dead Poets (Hong Kong).

After the ceremony, two after-parties are set to rock the place till late. Wing Lei Bar is hosting a "Secret Houseparty," with Mark Lloyd reuniting with former apprentices who are now bar owners in Shanghai: Bar OJ, Pawoo By, and Bar Times. Bar Mixato is also joining the late-night gathering.

Campari sponsors the second after-party at the Palace Reserve Club. In the lineup are veterans and recent inductees into the Asia's 50 Best Bars list: Cat Bite Club (Singapore), The Cocktail Club (Jakarta), Opium (Bangkok), Soka (Bangalore), and Carrots (Jakarta).

It's going to be a week unlike any other. "Wing Lei Bar & Friends" is not just returning this 2026, but it's upping the ante.
