Here attendees can find epic tequila cocktails including the brand’s signature Dobel Tequila Ace Paloma as well as scrumptious Mexican cuisine from Chef Enrique Olvera.
Dobel’s special guests so far have included Peter Sarsgaard, Garrett Wilson, Kamie Crawford, and more.
Just across the way, other celebs have been spotted including Emily in Paris co-stars and IRL couple Ashley Park and Paul Forman.
