Seattle: A Fine Dining Pop-Up At Stumptown Coffee Roasters On October 6th

On Sunday, October 6th an exciting new events production company will be launched by longtime Sprudge.com collaborator Alex Negranza. Based in Seattle, Washington, and called “An Evening With“, this event series represents the very best of what Seattle has to offer in food, coffee, cocktails, wine, and above all, professional service. AEW’s inaugural event takes place at Stumptown Coffee Roasters, which will be transformed for one night only into an extraordinary pop-up fine dining restaurant, staffed by a team of service professionals united from throughout Seattle’s thriving food, spirits, wine, and specialty coffee communities.

Sprudge.com is proud to be involved in the creation of this one-of-a-kind community driven event. “An Evening With Stumptown Coffee Roasters” represents a groundbreaking collaboration between members of the Barista Guild of America and the Washington State chapter of the United States Bartender’s Guild. Best of all, October 6th is the Sunday night of a weekend packed with events in Seattle, and An Evening With looks forward to hosting curious guests from around the world.
