What we'll do:
Our Chef Bar Experience is a five course cocktail tasting with tapas pairing. It is a curation of the current season’s offerings and R&D cocktails featuring Asian and local spirits while pairing them with our culinary creations. The Chef Bar Experience changes seasonally.
It is dinner and a show. Seated at the open Bar with Kitchen view, you will experience the smoke and mirrors of mixology as we craft each unique cocktails. Not to be “overcooked” our culinary team have tricks up their sleeves too.
We look forward to sharing our experience with you.
Sincerely,
Trung Nguyen and Vy Lieou
Chef / Owner / Mixologists
Chef Bar Experience $125/guest | Low / No ABV and Vegan / Vegetarian options available
We accept Private Group: max 26 guests | Off-site Private Events available
What's Included
Mixology
Craft Cocktails ranging from classics to originals featuring Japanese spirits like Hibiki and Akashi.
You will be treated to a nice refreshing sparkling wine while we allow the fashionably late to arrive.
There are five (5) cocktails each progressively more spirited. Typically we feature Japanese gin, vodka, and whiskey; but we do trail off in tangents and roll into mezcals and tequilas.
And yes...we'll be blowing a lot of smoke.
Culinary Creations
Our Craft Cocktails are paired with seasonal Asian Street Foods and "random" creations inspired from our travels or dreams (whichever comes first)
The menu for each event changes slightly or all together. It depends on our guests and their dietary restrictions and the season.

10/10 recommend spending an evening at Co Nam with Trung and his incredible team. You will be delighted by Trung's specially curated libations and perfectly paired menu. The atmosphere at Co Nam is warm, inviting and fun. I booked this experience for my team at work and everyone had a great time (there were many exclamationa of "this is SO good" and "I am blown away"! We will definitely make going to Co Nam a regular occurence! ☺️

The Chef Bar experience was wonderful! The food + cocktail pairings were made with a lot of thought and care, and were all delicious. The staff does a fine job of making you feel like family. At the bar, you can either sit in front of the bartender, the kitchen, or in-between. My girlfriend and I sat in front of the bartender, Sean, and were delightfully entertained as he crafted great cocktails and even better puns. We will definitely come back to Co Nam!

The food and drink experience with Trung and his lovely staff was amazing. He would give us background info on every drink prepared and spirits used. The best part was the food. Every food pairing was 100/10. I can't wait to come back and eat at his restaurant.

So fun! I gained a new appreciation for high-end mixology. Trung really gave us dedicated attention and passed on his passion for food and drinks. And it’s nice to pay a flat fee and not worry about each round of cocktails costing more money. Pretty good price for what you get.
