Colombo-Based Uncle Launches MadCo in Chennai, Serving Cocktails for a Cause

Chennai’s nightlife just got a vibrant new twist with the launch of MadCo, a chic cocktail lounge brought to life by a Colombo-based entrepreneur fondly nicknamed “Uncle.” More than just a place to sip innovative drinks, MadCo is making a statement by blending mixology with social impact.

From craft cocktails inspired by global flavors to a cozy, Instagram-worthy ambiance, MadCo promises an experience that tantalizes both the palate and the conscience. With each sip, patrons contribute to a larger cause, making it a hotspot where style meets substance.

Whether you’re a cocktail aficionado or someone looking for a trendy evening hangout, MadCo is quickly becoming the go-to destination for those who want to enjoy life with a touch of purpose.

In a delightful fusion of Sri Lankan flair and Chennai’s vibrant nightlife, Uncle’s Colombo made a memorable debut at Madras Cocktail Company (MadCo) in Gopalapuram, Chennai. This one-night-only event, dubbed "Serendip – Be The Change," was more than just a pop-up; it was a celebration of culture, community, and cocktails with a conscience.

A Night of Cultural Fusion

On October 15, 2025, the usually discreet MadCo opened its doors to a special evening where Colombo’s favorite bar, Uncle’s, took over the establishment. The collaboration was more than a mere guest shift; it was an immersive experience that blended Sri Lankan hospitality with Chennai's eclectic charm.

The event featured a curated menu of signature cocktails crafted by the talented team from Uncle’s Colombo. Guests were treated to innovative drinks that showcased the rich flavors of Sri Lanka, such as the pandan-infused "Rampe" and the sandalwood-scented "Lansiya." These cocktails were complemented by a selection of Sri Lankan-inspired appetizers, offering a taste of the island's culinary delights.

Cocktails for a Cause

True to the spirit of giving back, the event was organized in partnership with the "Be The Change Foundation." A portion of the proceeds from the evening was donated to support the foundation's initiatives aimed at empowering underprivileged communities in Sri Lanka. This collaboration highlighted the power of hospitality to effect positive change, turning a night of indulgence into an opportunity for social impact.

MadCo: A Speakeasy with a Purpose

MadCo, known for its exclusivity and intimate ambiance, provided the perfect backdrop for this philanthropic endeavor. The speakeasy's commitment to quality over quantity and its focus on creating meaningful experiences aligned seamlessly with the event's objectives. Guests were not just patrons; they were participants in a larger movement to make a difference.

The evening was a testament to the potential of cross-cultural collaborations in the hospitality industry. By bringing together the best of Colombo and Chennai, the event not only offered a unique culinary experience but also fostered a sense of community and shared purpose.

Looking Ahead

The success of "Serendip – Be The Change" has set a precedent for future collaborations between Uncle’s Colombo and MadCo. As both establishments continue to champion the cause of social responsibility through their platforms, patrons can look forward to more events that blend culture, cuisine, and charity.

In a world where entertainment often intersects with activism, this event served as a reminder that even a night out can contribute to a greater cause. The fusion of flavors, cultures, and goodwill made for an unforgettable evening, leaving attendees eagerly anticipating the next chapter in this inspiring partnership.
