AMeet the Maestro of Mixology
Abu Dhabi, brace your tastebuds—because things are about to get deliciously experimental. On Friday, September 26, 2025, from 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM, The Abu Dhabi EDITION’s chic Library Bar is handing over the reins (and the shakers) to none other than Iain McPherson, aka the wizard of Edinburgh’s Panda & Sons, and—no big deal—Bartender of the Year in the World’s 50 Best. Casual.
What Makes This Night Special
This is not your average “sip and nod politely” evening. McPherson is known for bending cocktail rules like they’re straws—expect flavor-bending, mind-bending, probably even time-bending creations. His bar back home ranks No.30 in the World’s 50 Best Bars and No.4 in the Top500 Bars, so let’s just say… the man knows his way around a jigger.
The Perfect Setting
And where better to host such wizardry than Library Bar? It’s the kind of place where sophistication meets “yeah, let’s stay for one more round.” Think warm interiors, curated drinks, and the kind of ambiance that makes you want to tell your friends you “just popped by for a quick cocktail” (translation: you stayed all night).
One Night. One Bartender. No Repeats.
This is a one-night-only takeover, people. No reruns, no encores, no “catch it next weekend.” It’s your rare chance to rub elbows with one of the world’s leading bartenders in an intimate setting that’s all about innovation, precision, and—let’s be honest—showing off to your Instagram followers.
