You’ll get to enjoy whiskey, beer and classic cocktails from an inventive menu, embark on a bespoke taste adventure with the Bulleit Boiler Maker Flavour Exploration, and even print your own face on a pint of Guinness! And if you’re feeling peckish there’s food on offer too from the likes of Sushi on Jones, Breddos Tacos and Pomelo. Book a table here.
