Sunset Supper Club: Exploring Color

ALMAGRE Venue and Bar is hosting a dinner series called Sunset Supper Club. Each dinner will have a unique theme or flair.

For our first in the series, we explore color with a coursed and colorful palette of cocktails and food. All five courses, curated by local chef Supansa Banker, will correlate with the theme of color. Plus, the atmosphere and rest of the room will be woven into the theme, creating a holistic theme experience.
