Sam & Ed first started entertaining and shaking cocktails together back in 2012. They’ve shared, holidays, houses, bar jobs, and a friendship ever since. They often joked that they’d own a bar together. Little did they know it would be a virtual bar! Because when COVID hit in 2020 Sam was doing physical comedy cocktail walks around Bath and had to refund ALL his bookings. Ed was working as brand strategist having switched careers after 4 years of cocktail making whilst studying – they decided to combine forces to launch Beyond The Bar!

After they realised they were onto something, Ed rang Simon to bring his years of TV and online entertainment expertise to help craft their cocktail dreams into reality. Within three months they’d gone from being a trio of cocktail mavericks to a fully fledged bright and bubbly team of ten and connected thousands of people worldwide for good vibes & laughter. Now with four totally unique experiences and many more on the launchpad, we can’t wait to get you shakin’ and makin’!
