Afterwork Cocktails
OTC’s Monthly Free Event!
An evening of meaningful conversation at 1862 Dry Bar
Good cocktails, interesting people, and conversations that go beyond the usual “so, what do you do?”
This month, we’re bringing our OTC community to 1862 Dry Bar for an evening of classic cocktails, conversation games, and unexpected connections.
Think intimate atmosphere, great energy, and the kind of encounters you don’t plan. You just show up for them.
And you’re welcome to bring a friend! Someone you’d love to introduce to the club. Just make sure they register too.
THE ULTIMATE WHY
Because small talk is a waste of a good cocktail. We’re here to go deeper, one question at a time.
VENUE - 1862 Dry Bar
This month, we’re gathering at 1862 Dry Bar, named after the year the very first cocktail book was published. Discreet from the street, warm and intimate once you step inside: soft green walls, antique mirrors, a dark wood bar, and a cosy downstairs room made for lingering.
It sets the scene for exactly what we love at OTC: slowing down, sharing a drink, and discovering the people around you.
HOW IT WORKS
Participation in the event is free, but registration is required to reserve your place.
Drinks are not included, and each participant simply pays for whatever they order at the bar.
To make sure reserved spots are actually used, registration requires a refundable deposit.
Anyone who attends the event will receive their deposit back after the gathering.
WHAT TO EXPECT
A curated afterwork format built around connection, not networking
Guided conversation games in small groups and rotations
Space to bring one guest, someone you’d genuinely introduce to the community

DRINKS
What’s better than a good conversation? A good conversation with a great cocktail in hand.
1862 is all about the classics, done properly. Think a perfect Old Fashioned, a mint julep or a gin fizz, plus house signatures with a creative twist. Whether you stick to a favourite or let the bartenders surprise you, it’s the perfect setting to discover a new drink while getting to know someone new.
Each participant orders and pays for their own drinks at the bar.
DRESS CODE
Smart casual. Come as you are, but make it intentional. Think: what you’d wear to meet someone interesting for the first time in a beautiful, dimly lit room. No need to dress up; no use in dressing down.
