One of the world's best bars is opening a pop-up in Toronto next week and you can sip on thirst-quenching and delicious cocktails all night long.

On top of being ranked as one of the best bars in the world, Hope & Sesame also scored a spot on the list of Asia's 50 Best Bars and was voted the best bar in Mainland China in 2023.

In 2015, Hope & Sesame opened at the back of a traditional Cantonese store and became the grounds of a bar with innovative experiences and cocktails.

On March 7 and 8, you can take a sip of the unique cocktails without having to travel all the way to Guangzhou in China.

Hope & Sesame is working with Flora Lounge, a bar in 1 Hotel Toronto, to bring these innovative flavours to the heart of the city.

From 7:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. on March 7 and 8, you can find co-founders and renowned mixologists Andrew Ho and Bastien Ciocca serving up six crafted cocktails for guests to enjoy.

The pair are "known for experimenting with a wide range of indigenous ingredients, infusion and various distillation techniques, and micro-seasonal sourcing," an Instagram post states.

So, if you were hoping to try something new and exciting then head to 1Hotel's Flora Lounge on those dates and welcome Andrew Ho and Bastien Ciocca to Toronto.
