Tayēr + Elementary is a double concept cocktail bar established in 2019 in London.

Elementary is a modern neighbourhood bar serving ready to drink classic cocktails on tap combined with seasonal and contemporary ingredients, highballs, beer, wine, coffee and snacks.

Tayēr is a produce driven cocktail bar combining modern techniques and old-fashioned practices to create drinks that express simplicity and uniqueness of our ingredients.

Muyu is a modern liqueur rooted in current culture and the taste of now.

Each liquid begins with the precious extraction of a single note, after which the secondary sequences of extraordinary ingredients are wrapped around each note to create a completely developed and complex liquid.

Luminous jasmine, zesty chinotto and mystical vetiver; we formulate liquids with a specific opinion on flavour to convey concepts of individual ingredients.

Like Minded Creatures is a multi-faceted drinks industry travel party.

The project, which regularly sets up boundary breaking cocktail events in creative capitals around the world takes over iconic spaces paying homage to vibrant cocktail culture, cutting edge cocktails and collaborations.

Like Minded Creatures started as a collaboration between 3 friends; Luke Whearty (Byrdi, Melbourne), Matt Whiley (RE, Sydney) and Alex Kratena (Tayēr + Elementary, London) as a creative outlet outside of their venues and is a must attend for anyone serious about cocktails.
