Definitely NOT a Post Captain Consulting Speakeasy
Thursday, June 26, 2025
7:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Barbershop Cuts & Cocktails
+ Amaya: Modern Mexican
Our reception at The Barbershop has reached capacity. However, by joining the waitlist, you gain access to Amaya, located just an escalator ride upstairs. Amaya offers a private bar, bold flavors, and a high-energy vibe all its own.
We kept the mystery, just added more room.
Follow Our Clients’ Lead
We’re excited to co-present with our clients, sharing insights and sparking conversations that inspire innovation—both within Slate and beyond.
