An Australian Celebration!

Yesterday CEO Jeremy Stoppelman and the Yelp AU team celebrated our launch into Australia - with a very Melbourne evening of cocktails in new laneway bar EDV!

EDV is a sister bar to the award-winning Eau de Vie in Sydney. Hidden down a laneway behind an unmarked wooden door, owner Greg Sanderson and his team wowed us with a range of exciting cocktails and Spanish influenced canapés. Highlights included a "Yuzu Mule" - a mix of vodka, yuzu curd and homemade ginger beer served in a copper cup; and the "Nitro Punch"- a mix of vodka, apple, pinot grigio and apricot brandy served with liquid nitrogen for a super chilled and smoking effect. 

In attendance were creative Melburnians including local food bloggers, entrepreneurs, champion baristas, small business owners - even a magician! Some of our guests downloaded the Yelp app on to their phones so they could be the first to check-in. As Jeremy mentioned, there has been phenomenal interest in our Australian launch - after a very busy week it was an excellent opportunity to enjoy a cocktail and chat with guests about all things Australia.

 

 

So thank you Melbourne for your warm welcome! We're very excited to be here.
