episode 26: How to Drink at Barts with Vincenzo Sibilia, London
Was it the flair, the fans, the fame - a mixture of all three - that made our guest today watch Tom Cruise in Cocktail and say “I want to do that”? Yes...and Vincenzo Sibilia is wowing them in Chelsea’s only speakeasy, but you need to know the password to see him in action.

Hello everyone - Don't get confused! Before there was Lush Life, there was Best Sips Worldwide, I rebranded after the first season. Although I reference Best Sips – it’s Lush Life through and through – the same great guests, the same music, and the same me!

From Italy’s first capital city, Torino, to London wasn’t such a long journey. After a stint at catering college, Vincenzo knew the front of house suited him much more than the back of the kitchen. Mixing his natural flair for invention with his innate sense of creativity, our guest today helms Barts London with a combination of Italian bravado and international charm.
Nestled in one of the major arteries of Chelsea, Barts rules the scene with its tongue-in-cheek, irreverent speakeasy style and its superb cocktail creations. Trying to find it in one of the 1930’s built apartment buildings can make you thirsty enough, your Barts experience begins when you ring the bell. From that moment on, you’re in Vincenzo’s hands, as he takes you to Chicago and back in one drink.
