win – The Cultural Exposé

Win a £100 tab at Kamique Bar, Covent Garden!

The Cultural Exposé — Fri, 18 Oct 2013 10:00:15 +0000

We love a good cocktail (or two) so we’re glad to recently discover a new bar after our own hearts; Kamique is where you go if you’re looking for spot in the West End that’s not only fun for hanging out, but prides itself on the quality and creativity of their drinks. It’s not everywhere that you can find at least 10 varieties of Mojitos, glamorous mixes and a fruity house drink called the “Kamiquitini” that makes us wish it was summer again!

Kamique also offers a decent selection of food, especially if you’re looking to visit before a night at the theatre – and we personally recommend the lip-smacking, towering Smoked Special with its super-crisp onion rings, smoked cheddar, bacon and BBQ sauce.

So for your chance to enjoy this and more at Kamique this autumn, simply fill in your details below – the competition closes on November 15th and a winner will be chosen at random. Good luck!

In homage to the way Cutty Sark whisky was smuggled into the US 90 years ago, performances will take place inside a giant reproduction of a wooden cargo crate (ah-mazing?) with the soulful Jessie Ware headlining the unique proceedings.

Other guests on board include DJ and producer Duke Dumont, Burlesque star Miss Polly Rae and music photographer Tom Oxley, who’ll be presenting an exhibition of “video portraits” where he captured the likes of Liam Gallagher, Jake Bugg and Azealia Banks. Then there’s the food and booze, which will come courtesy of Meat Liquor’s Yianni Papoutsis, while 1920s inspired cocktails will be served at a secret speakeasy in the crate, run by 69 Colebrooke Row.
Finally, further artsy displays will come from The Shanty Theatre Company, It’s Nice That and design studio Flat-e, making all this sound like one heck of an amazing night out – so for your chance to win a pair a tickets, enter by doing one of the following:
