Embrace ‘Alto Tango’ At Zeta Bar

Experience A Sophisticated, Cultural And Sensual Journey Every Friday

Sydney– 20 June 2013 – Hilton Sydney’s internationally acclaimed Zeta Bar evokes dramatic mystique with the launch of its new cocktail concept ‘Alto Tango’ – translation ‘High Tango’. Delve into the romance and seduction of the world’s only UNESCO heritage listed dance – Tango - presented with a side of Zeta Bar’s friskiness.

Dancing its way every Friday from 12 July, Zeta Bar will be transformed into an experiential venue reminiscent of the glamour of 1930s Buenos Aires. A sensual, social, captivating place with bespoke cocktails, delightful South American inspired food, and improv entertainment. This is what guests can expect to see, hear and taste at ‘Alto Tango’, the perfect spot to while away a winter’s Friday night.

Guided through the evolution of Tango, guests will enjoy dancing silhouettes who will express stories depicting seduction, jealousy and rivalry between two men and a woman. Guests will be further immersed in the authentic sounds of Tango presented by Sydney’s most renowned Tango performers, ‘Fuego Blanco’ guided by Maggie Ferguson – all graduates of Sydney’s Conservatorium of music and The University of NSW. The traditions will be juxtaposed with Zeta Bar’s resident DJ mixing ‘electro-tango’ beats, the ever popular body art live statue, a timeless photo booth and lively light projections.

For an extra special treat, performing for one night only on 19 July, get up close and personal with World Champion Tango dancers Daniel Nacucchio and Cristina Sosa*. Guests can also sign up for Tango lessons at Zeta Bar on July 20 and 21.

‘Alto Tango’ has been choreographed by the Zeta Bar team in conjunction with renowned mixologist, Russ McFadden from Behind Bars. ‘Alto Tango’ seamlessly combines molecular mixology and classic cocktails. The quirky list features carefully crafted cocktails including Chimichurri Shrub, Two to Tango, Malbec Mulled Wine, Sangria and a selection of Argentine wines and beers.

Russ said, “Zeta Bar is renowned for pioneering innovative cocktail concepts. ‘Alto Tango’ at Zeta is a quirky and interactive way to showcase the talent of our mixologists. We always have fun showcasing to our guests the creative construction and inspirations that goes behind creating the Zeta cocktail concepts.”
