The Hottest Invite at the Tonys? Baccarat and Dewar’s Ultra-Exclusive Speakeasy
An invitation to the Tony Awards is already highly coveted, but this year, an even more exclusive experience awaited a select few inside Radio City Music Hall: Baccarat and Dewar’s speakeasy. Set on the mezzanine balcony in the famed venue, the spot served as a private area for presenters, nominees, and distinguished guests to have a quick drink around their peers. It featured the French luxury house’s signature red palette, complemented by crystal chandeliers and sculptural vases that mirrored Radio City’s opulent aesthetic.
“At Dewar’s, we’ve long believed that great stories are meant to be savored,” Brian Cox, Global Vice President of Scotch Whisky at Bacardi, said in a release. “The Tony Awards represent the pinnacle of live storytelling and true artistry, and we’re honored to toast the people and moments that make Broadway unforgettable.”
Attendees included Broadway greats and newcomers like Cynthia Erivo, Sadie Sink, Phillipa Soo, Julianne Hough, Carrie Preston, Tom Francis, Megan Hilty, Maia Reficco, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Daveed Diggs, Tom Felton, Ariana DeBose, Brooke Shields, Charli D’Amelio, Dylan Mulvaney, Auli’i Cravalho, Ashley Longshore, Christian Siriano, Anthony Ramos, and more, demonstrating why the speakeasy was the place to be at the Tonys.
“Baccarat was forged from a bold spirit of innovation, so it is an honor to pay tribute to those who continue to redefine the boundaries of performance through their craft,” added Adam Banfield, President and CEO of Baccarat North America. “In partnership with Dewar’s, we are proud to create an experience that radiates with elegance and the unmistakable brilliance that has long defined our Maison and this time-honored occasion.”
Dewar’s and Baccarat share a long-standing connection, each leaving a distinct mark on the world of fine dining and luxury spirits. At the speakeasy, guests were treated to an elevated drinking experience, with Dewar’s whisky-based cocktails served in elegant Baccarat glassware. Highlights from the menu included the Golden Cue, a vibrant, fruit-forward blend; the Revival, a smooth cocktail with notes of vanilla and sherry; and the Act One Aperitif, artfully strained into an absinthe-rinsed Baccarat Harmonie Tumbler for a theatrical finish.
