The Rum Quarter

One stand for rum at Europe's bar shows.

What we do

One booth, different brands

Rum never got much attention at bar shows, so in 2024 we did something about it. The Rum Quarter is one big stand where different brands show rum together, as one strong category.

Our visitors work in the industry. They talk to our bartenders, brand ambassadors and brand owners, taste what rum can do for their venue, and learn how different the styles are.

The Rum Quarter comes from The Rumah, our cocktail bar on the Oude Binnenweg in Rotterdam. We want to get everybody involved with the world's most diverse spirit.

On the stand

  • Different brands in one booth
  • A masterclass program
  • Room for tastings and meetings
