Champion of diversity and slinger of awesome drinks, the Hawaii born, US bred and Hong Kong honed Beckaly has burned her path to the top of the cocktail scene in Asia, and is co-founder of Pontiac which has featured in Asia's 50 Best Bars list from 2016-2022. She recently co-founded Hungry Ghost with her wife, and opened acclaimed venues Call me Al and Artifact.

Bartending is a privilege, not a right. I have been fortunate enough to be able to aggressively follow my heart and my passion for taking care of people in my own way. It has rightfully consumed the majority of my adult life and provided me with a world of opportunity that most wouldn’t dream of. It is a wild ride and I only hope to honour the relationship between the bar and the guest as much as it has honoured me. It is not easy work. You have to love it. I have always loved tending bar and I always will
