Henshin is set to continue its Behind The Bar Series with a special bar takeover by Kim Dongje, Head Bartender of The Backdrop — Singapore’s newest cocktail bar celebrated for its innovative ‘percolated cocktails’. The event will take place on Friday, 25 October 2025, at Henshin’s rooftop bar on the 67th floor of The Westin Jakarta.
