Ghost Donkey

Ghost Donkey is a Mexican hospitality bar brand born in New York City, known for its lively mezcal and tequila-focused cocktail program and whimsical design. The brand describes itself as "a lively and vibrant mezcal and tequila bar that embodies the heart and soul of Mexican Hospitality," with a soul that resides in Mexico while carrying big-city swagger. It was named after the fabled white donkeys considered the workhorse of the tequila and mezcal-making process, and its spaces are filled with bright color and eccentric characters brought to life by the bar team and interior design. The bar's menu features a vast selection of mezcals and tequilas, served either traditionally with salts and fresh fruit or in award-winning signature cocktails. Signature drinks include Los Cócteles Ay Papi (montelobos mezcal, dolin blanc vermouth, becherovka, mandarin, hoja santa, sparkling wine), the El "Vesper" Martini (el tesoro tequila, tavernas raicilla, epazote, seasonal vermouth), the Mole Negroni, the Frozen Stealth Margarita, and the Altos Paloma. A food menu of Mexican bites such as Nachos Especiales, guacamole and chips, queso fundido, and raw oysters with smoked pineapple and mezcal mignonette complements the drinks. Ghost Donkey received the Imbibe "Best Cocktail Bar of the Year" award in 2020. As of the official website, it operates locations in Las Vegas, Nevada (at the Cosmopolitan Hotel), Phoenix, Arizona, Omaha, Nebraska, Chicago, Illinois, and Dallas, Texas. Each location maintains its own website for current menus, hours, and booking inquiries. The brand is associated with AvroKO, the design and hospitality firm; media and private event inquiries are directed to Marion Emmanuelle at marion@avroko.com.
