The new CopperBay Lancaster
Born out of a desire to be transported to a place where one can lose oneself in the gentle reverie of sun-drenched beaches and the shimmering sea, CopperBay strikes a balance between the aft deck of a sailing boat and a yacht club bar.
Elfi, Aurélie and Julien, the three founders, wanted to give the cocktail a new setting, a world away from 1930s-inspired speakeasies – something more contemporary, livelier and more convivial.
Aurélie: From luxury bars to five-star hotels, the first woman to have worked at the legendary Forum, she ranks among the 50 best bartenders in France.
Elfi: A consultant specialising in cocktail menu design for her own company and an influential multi-brand brand manager in the cocktail bar scene, she is also the initiator of landmark events such as the Cocktail Battles.
Julien: Regularly voted among the top 50 best bartenders in France, winner of numerous spirits competitions and former head bartender at Papa Doble, he is the trio’s master technician.
