Tom Neijens / The Drifter – Gent

Tom is the owner of The Drifter, the first Tiki Bar in Belgium. A Tiki Bar, you say? Tom’s exotic drinks, garnished with a good dose of humor, will take you on a journey steeped in rums through the Caribbean and Polynesia. If you still haven’t discovered what Tiki culture is after that, Tom will be more than happy to explain it to you!

Elias Belmans / Marigold – Antwerp

Since its opening in September 2022, Marigold has been delighting patrons with its unique blend of exquisite cocktails and delectable comfort food. As a true testament to the power of friendship and pursuing passions, Marigold is the project of two best friends, Nicolas Oorts and David Vanheesbeke, who dreamed of opening a cocktail bar where they could unleash their creativity and share their creations. The complex recipes and carefully crafted ingredients (often made in food labs) ensure that each sip is a work of art.
