ADELAIDE, South Australia, 2013-01-16 — /travelprnews.com/ — Adelaide has something exciting to talk about this year with the opening of a new cocktail bar at Hilton Adelaide – The Collins Bar.
Located in the heart of Adelaide’s CBD, The Collins Bar will occupy one of Adelaide’s sought after locations, overlooking Victoria Square and the city. The bar will offer a large and unique collection of cocktails, bourbons and gin as well as a fine selection of wines and spirits.
At the very heart of the city, The Collins Bar will be the place for sophisticated and discerning people who enjoy good company and an ingeniously prepared drink.
The Collins Bar will be the first name that comes to mind when people think of an amazing menu of cocktails made with art and flair in Adelaide. More than that, though, it will be a sanctuary for the sort of person who does not want to end a loud and busy week at a loud and busy venue, but instead simply wants to escape, experience exceptional service, and a relaxed atmosphere with their closest friends.
Grant Collins is the creative mind behind The Collins Bar, and believes it is exactly what Adelaide needs.
“We wanted to bring something a little different to the Adelaide night scene, something that the Adelaide public wants but is yet to experience. The energised atmosphere, creative cocktail menu, and distinct setting will create a diverse, local bar for those late night drinks, weekends and lazy Sundays,” said Grant Collins.
Peer Norsell, general manager Hilton Adelaide commented, “The Collins Bar will open at a milestone for the hotel, having just celebrated 30 years of hospitality in Adelaide. The bar is stage one in the ground floor masterplan. It will change the face of Hilton Adelaide and hopefully offer a unique bar experience – perhaps a first of its type in Adelaide.”
From the early Tom and John Collins to the more contemporary Rum and Vodka Collins, this expansive group of drinks is omnipresent in cocktail publications and bars everywhere. Including some of the earliest professionally created mixes in the world dating back to the 1870’s, the Collins family has a perfect cocktail for any personal taste.
No cocktail establishment is without an array of Collins glasses. A staple for mixed drinks, they simply represent great service of great cocktails, made with care and served the way they should be.
If you’re looking for the real Mr. Collins behind a cornucopia of creative cocktails, look no further than the other side of our bar. With more than15 years of experience all over the world, from London to New York to our own shores, plus a cocktail of awards, including being named one of the “World’s Greatest Bartenders”, Grant Collins is among the most esteemed bar managers in Australia.
The cocktail menu, designed by mixologist extraordinaire Grant Collins, comprises 30 unique cocktails including; an edible degustation of cocktails, sensory drinks playing on sight, touch, feel and smell, as well as vintage tiki drinks. Each cocktail is unique with an array of options certain to appeal to all.
“We have such a diversified cocktail menu at The Collins Bar that you will be pressed to find another as interesting as ours. The cocktails have been designed to cater to everyone, with an era driven list including both modern and signature drinks,” said Grant Collins.
The Collins Bar is Adelaide’s newest and sleekest cocktail bar, opening 25 January, 2013, where Adelaide should expect the unexpected.
