Raise a Glass to Pride

Visitors can raise a glass to a more vibrant world at the Round Robin Bar, where specialty cocktails such as Flowers and Pride are crafted to capture the art of belonging, authenticity, and resilience. Carefully crafted with El Dorado Rum – a spirit with roots in resistance and transformation –  Lillet Blanc, blackberry, and Twisted Alchemy cold-pressed lemon juice, this delicious drink is as meaningful as it is memorable. Finished with an edible Lemon Plum Johnny-Jump-Up and boasting a deep red-purple hue, the cocktail nods to the red stripe of the Pride flag – symbolizing life, and reflects IHG’s commitment to creating spaces where all are welcomed, celebrated, and given Room to Belong. The cocktail will be available until June 8 at Round Robin Bar, Café du Parc, and a signature Pop-Up Bar/Station at the bar’s 14th Street entrance on parade weekend.

Perfectly positioned on the corner of 14th Street, just steps away from the parade route, this festive outdoor pop-up is the ultimate spot to cheer from the sidelines, mingle, and toast to love. Parade watchers can indulge in Willard’s signature Pride Burger, served with golden curly fries, and paired with a refreshing celebratory glass of Veuve Clicquot, the perfect match for an unforgettable day.
