Irvine’s beloved cocktail destination YNK by Ellis Adams Group is celebrating their one year anniversary with an event open to the public on Friday, September 15 at 5:30pm. And you’re invited!
YNK (You Never Know) is a not-so-hidden “speakeasy” located within the Irvine Marriott Hotel that has captivated cocktail enthusiasts since its opening. Featuring cleverly-crafted cocktails in a sophisticated, intimate atmosphere, you, like me and my tippling friends, will succumb to the magic of the journey and YNK’s inspired libations.
Cocktail Journeyman Ravin Buzzell
Decorated with discerning detail every few months to evoke the beauty and culture of a travel destination, YNK has featured New Orleans, Asia, Spain, and now Italy, with Amsterdam coming soon. Innovative cocktails are inspired by the theme – the Ramos Gin Fizz pictured above was sheer perfection, and I remain gobsmacked by the incredible talent of barman Ravin.
Some of YNK’s most popular libations from each of their rotating cocktail menus will be available for purchase as well as complimentary hors d’oeuvres and YNK swag bags. Interested guests should RSVP to [email protected] to secure your spot.

What an interesting name this bar has: “You Never Know!” If those cocktails taste as good as they look, I’m sure I would enjoy spending an evening there. Maybe I’ll try to come to its 1-year anniversary, on September 15. My son will be in Irvine next week for a course, so who knows, we may be coming that way one evening. Are you going?
Hi Anda,
The cocktails taste every bit as good as they look and, yes, I’m going! Come! It would be great to meet up with you again. xo
