Rum Revival 

S&B EVENTS’ 3rd ANNUAL HAVANA NIGHTS INSPIRED CELEBRATION OF THE GULF COAST’S COLORFUL TIES TO THE CARIBBEAN 

S&B Events goes live with VIP tickets for their next great event that gives back – Rum Revival. This spring celebration of rum, tequila, and Caribbean cuisine will take place at Golden Nugget Lake Charles on April 6, 2024, 5:00-9:00 p.m.  

The events in S&B’s annual line-up are comprised of three main components – fine spirits, great cuisine, and unique entertainment. Attendees will have endless access to over 70 different rum and tequila labels as well as tropical cocktails for sampling. Eight local restaurants (Area 337, Crying Eagle Brewing, The James 710, Lulu’s, Cadillac Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar, The Charthouse, Draft Kings, and Landry’s Seafood) will prepare Caribbean inspired cuisine for tasting. Live entertainment by Bonerama, a brass, funk band from New Orleans will tie this culturally rich experience together. Tropical attire for attendees is encouraged.  

The three-day event begins Thursday, April 4 and ends with a designated after-party Saturday night. The grand tasting is a four-hour event Saturday, but Rum Revival weekend is an extended weekend experience! Along with the grand tasting, there are two cocktail pairing dinners that lead up to Saturday’s festivities. These seated, multi-course dinners are Caribbean themed and feature a spirit chosen by this year’s spirits sponsors. Each course and paired cocktail are built around the chosen label’s flavor, nodes, and aroma, and truly show the art and complexity of fine spirits. The weekend line-up allows local chefs to experiment with mouthwatering culinary creations and showcase their talents for current and new engaged audiences.   

Each great event produced by S&B Events helps this non-profit organization fulfill its mission by raising funds for its charitable beneficiary, United Way of Southwest Louisiana. President and CEO of UWSWLA, Denise Durel, thanks the co-founders of S&B for their “creative and innovative way of raising funds that support our community.” Their two annual events, Smoke & Barrel in the fall and Rum Revival in the spring, provide full scholarships for children under age six to attend day school through a program called “Success by 6”.  

VIP tickets for Rum Revival will be available until they are sold-out. Tickets give attendees all-inclusive access to fine spirits, great cuisine, and a front row seat to lively entertainment. Along with hosting the event, Friday night’s dinner, and the After Party, Golden Nugget Lake Charles is also offering room discounts for all ticket holders during the Rum Revival weekend.
