Luigi’s is bringing the heat with Indonesia’s ultimate bartending showdown. The National Bartending Speed Master Competition is calling out the fastest, sharpest, and slickest hands in the game. Six qualifying rounds, six bartenders per heat, and a grand prize pool of $10K—only the best make it to the final showdown.

On Wednesday, May 28, Da Maria Bali presents “Cheat Codes,” an exclusive drinks seminar led by Matt Whiley of Re (Sydney) and Luke Whearty of Byrdi (Melbourne), two globally renowned bartenders and nominees for International Bartender of the Year at The Spirited Awards. The seminar explores innovative techniques and smart shortcuts in cocktail making that boost efficiency and consistency without sacrificing quality. Whiley, known for his pioneering work in sustainability at Re, and Whearty, celebrated for his ingredient-driven approach at Byrdi, will share insights on creativity, process, and purpose in modern drinks culture.
