There are now 22 Zuma and 12 Roka around the world.

Casamigos was founded by long-time friends George Clooney, Rande Gerber, and Discovery Land Company CEO & founder Michael Meldman. Launched in 2013, these small batch, ultra-premium tequilas are made from the finest hand-selected 100% Blue Weber agaves grown in the rich red clay soil and cool climate of Mexico’s Jalisco Highlands for a minimum of seven years.

The terrace provides a vibrant setting for guests for an enjoyable experience, with the spirit of Japanese street food culture brought to life through the Yatai stall.
