THE RAGER - OUR OFFICIAL KICKOFF PARTY!
Opulent, electric, and just the right level of unrestrained, this has become our signature holiday party and our love letter to hospitality in the city. We invite 12 of our favourite chefs and bartenders to take over Holiday Club for one night, creating an exciting and dazzling room full of the people who make our scene unforgettable.
