Tesouro Takes Over Botanik!

Botanik Bistro Bar presents Tesouro, a top 100 bar of the world for two nights only in Sri Lanka!

Botanik Rooftop Bistro and Bar located on the rooftop of Fairway Colombo; collaborates with Indian experiential event collective ‘The Soul Company’ to present Tesouro by Firefly, voted as one of the world’s top 100 bars by ‘Worlds50Best’, which is commonly considered as one of the highest accolades a bar could be awarded. The Tesouro takeover will be the 8th installment of the takeover series which began in early 2018 by Botanik. Situated strategically in the center of Colombo’s business and historic district; Botanik offers unparalleled views, eclectic cuisine, articulate design, and always an affable ambiance to all its patrons. The takeover in the southern coast will happen at Botanik by the Beach, located at Owl and the Pussycat Hotel in Talpe amidst an eclectic, beachy backdrop. Tesouro, which translates as ‘treasure’ in Portuguese, threw its doors open on Goa’s Liberation Day, December 19, 2020. Made possible by the resilience of Donovan Vaz who is the founder of the Firefly Bistro brand, also an accomplished race car driver, partnered with the well-known folks who along with running Countertop India are helming the bar. Arijit Bose is a beverage and bar industry veteran and the co-founder of Lovers Rum while Pankaj Balachandran is the ex-brand Ambassador for Monkey Shoulder Whiskey for the subcontinent. The Soul company has become a staple for pop-ups, takeovers and F&B events in Bangalore and Mumbai; the combined synergy of Botanik and Tesouro will see these three like-minded brands create an experience which will be exceptional and epic in proportions. The event is spread across two days, the first being the 25th of March at Botanik Bistro Bar in Colombo and on the 26th of March at Botanik by the Beach at Owl and the Pussycat Hotel. It will offer limited seating to the eager food and beverage aficionados of Colombo to experience a truly authentic beverage experience. This take-over is possible thanks to the efforts of Rockland Distilleries who will be curating the beverage experience of the event, Sri Lankan Airlines, the official airline partner, and Fairway Hotel Colombo. Special thanks also go out to the pop-ups Fine Food Partner, Maybury International, Realty Partner, Horton Realty and Digital Media Partners, Daily Mirror Online and HI!! Online.
