Jimmy, founder of Raw+Atelier in Ho Chi Minh City, has come a long way from the flashy flair bartending days. These days, he’s all about working flair – functional movements and techniques that make service smoother while adding energy and theater to the guest experience. For Jimmy, every guest that comes into his bar has to feel that they're getting their money's worth.

With a focus on technique-driven methods of creating cocktails, Rich's ethos at Workshop14 has always been about using all-local ingredients. Rich’s colourful journey from Ghana to Vietnam eventually brought him to Hanoi, where he founded Workshop14 — now one of the city’s most exciting bars. His cocktails are deeply technique-driven, blending local ingredients, regional spirits, and a flair for creative experimentation to deliver fresh, unexpected experiences in every glass.
