Michael Silva
The panel will be hosted by Booth’s co-founder and innovator in the Providence cocktail industry, Michael Silva. Michael built his mobile cocktail company, BAS, on the concept of creating authentic spaces in the form of conceptual pop-ups in incongruent locations, with the mission to educate and familiarize an underrepresented demographic in the cocktail culture. Using storytelling as a gateway to mixology, BAS provides a creative alternative to the local nightlife. Michael hosts pop ups in various spaces in RI and establishes relationships with restaurants and bars while doing so. You can find Michael behind the bar as the beverage director at Bodega on Smith in Providence, RI.
