That experience plus a passion for a memorable cocktail... inspired Painted Afternoon Hospitality. Currently based in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Philosophy

At Painted Afternoon Hospitality, every gathering is treated like a blank canvas. Through thoughtful beverage design, hospitality, music and more we create experiences that unfolds naturally - one memorable drink at a time.

From handcrafted cocktails to the rhythm of the evening, every element is carefully considered to leave guests with a feeling they'll remember long after the last sip. We don't just serve drinks - we paint an experience.
