Courbevoie Sport Tennis, a summer celebration just outside Paris

On 21 June 2025, So Barman designed a food and cocktail pairing animation, bar show and participatory experience for an audience mixing adults, children and teenagers.

A festive format designed for a large guest volume

For its summer celebration, Courbevoie Sport Tennis called on So Barman to build an experience capable of combining conviviality, variety and service fluidity. The challenge was clear : Offer drinks with or without alcohol, create a real animation moment around cocktails and absorb a large audience without losing readability or execution quality.

1. The context

• Venue: Courbevoie Sport Tennis, just outside Paris
• Date: Saturday 21 June 2025, from 7 pm to midnight
• Event: Summer celebration
• Audience: 77 adults, 50 children and teenagers
• Objective: Offer a varied, fresh and thirst-quenching drinks selection, with or without alcohol, in a fluid and festive setting

2. The setup deployed

• 1 mixologist and flair bartender
• 2 mixologist bartenders
• 5 cocktail stations positioned in front of the bar
• Food and cocktail pairing animation, bar show and cocktail service
• Guest support in choosing and making their cocktails

3. An animation that gets people involved

The setup is not limited to service. Thanks to the 5 cocktail stations installed in front of the bar, guests who wish to can make their own cocktail, guided by the bartender who shares the codes of a successful cocktail according to the rules of the craft.

This dimension makes the experience more playful, more memorable and more embodied, while giving participants the pleasure of having learned and made their first cocktail. It is also what gives the evening a genuinely participatory dimension without breaking the fluidity of service.

4. Variety, show and fluidity

To respond to a broad intergenerational audience, the drinks balance is built around a majority of cocktails and mocktails, complemented by wines, beers and soft drinks. This logic keeps the offer fresh, varied and thirst-quenching, without locking the evening into a single format.

The spectacle never comes at the expense of service. Between working flair, bar show and a reinforced team, everything is designed to maintain rhythm and fluidity until the end of the evening.

5. A unifying highlight for the club

In a club such as Courbevoie Sport Tennis, this type of format creates a strong moment capable of bringing people together around the same animation point. Adults enjoy a real cocktail service and bar show, while children and teenagers discover a more interactive and playful dimension.

The result is a summer celebration that is more convivial, more unifying and more memorable than a simple drinks service.

6. An evening designed to bring people together

This case shows that a public summer celebration can remain readable and premium when service, show and participation are designed together. Variety in the drinks, a solid team, playful animation and bar show create an immediately engaging format.

At Courbevoie Sport Tennis, this combination makes the evening more fluid, more joyful and more memorable than a purely demonstrative animation.
