On a high note
Guru, Pornchai Sereemongkonpol, Published on 25/12/2015
» What’s better than one good restaurant? Three good ones combined, baby! Highball Black Garden is a joint concoction between Johnnie Walker and three well-known restaurants — Hyde & Seek Peek-a-Boo, 1881 by Water Library and Tales of Gold Mine — all of which are located inside Groove, a dining hub on the ground level of CentralWorld. As its name suggests, it focuses on pairing food with highballs containing Johnnie Walker Black Label whisky. This pop-up venue is where you can enjoy an alfresco dinner lit up by strings of decorative Christmas lights wrapped around trees. The director’s chairs are more comfortable and roomy than they look (unless you’re booty-blessed like Kim or Nicki). There are some props with which to spruce up your IG moments, such as a top hat to help you look like a gent and a statue of the Johnnie Walker himself. A large, black backdrop is also available for group photos.
