Rhythms & Rum: A Taste of the Caribbean in Brixton

This isn’t just about sipping rum (though you’ll do plenty of that). It’s about discovering the heritage behind the bottle — the roots of rum in the Caribbean, its ties to resistance and celebration, and the role it still plays in Black communities today.

Led by a local expert who knows their rum like a DJ knows their vinyl, you’ll taste your way through a handpicked selection of rums from across the Caribbean — each one telling a different story. Think bold, smooth, spicy, and unexpected.

We’ll be hosted in a cosy local spot, where good vibes come as standard. Expect easy conversation, great company, and a few surprise extras to get your tastebuds dancing.

Whether you’re a seasoned rum lover or a curious newcomer, this is your chance to taste, connect, and celebrate culture in a way that’s warm, relaxed, and totally Brixton.
