RUM REVIVAL

RUM, TEQUILA, & CARIBBEAN CUISINE!

Launched in 2022, Rum Revival is a celebration of the Gulf Coast’s colorful ties to the Caribbean and captures the vibrant energy of that region. This fabulous production transforms the space into a premium tasting event featuring a variety of cocktails, and dozens of rums and tequilas, paired with Caribbean dishes prepared by some of Southwest Louisiana’s most talented chefs.

Rum is the up and coming spirits category, and we are fortunate to have a world-renowned Rum distillery in our backyard. Between our region’s sugarcane production, rum production, love of flavorful foods, rich musical traditions, and the joie de vivre to celebrate it all – Rum Revival is a natural fit for SWLA. Pull out your favorite tropical attire, and meet us at the ice sculpture to celebrate your brand!
