This Sunday we've got an exclusive Bushmills Black Bush Irish Wh***ey cocktail menu for our Samhain celebrations!

Samhain, pronounced “sow-in,” is an ancient Celtic festival that marks the end of the harvest season and the beginning of winter.

Samhain represents a liminal time when the boundaries between the living and the dead were believed to be blurred.

People would light bonfires, wear costumes to disguise themselves from malevolent entities, and offer food and gifts to the otherworldly beings. As the centuries passed, Samhain evolved into the modern-day Halloween.”

On the 1st of November we’ll host a celebration with Bushmills Irish Wh***ey.
We’ll have an exclusive cocktail menu using Bushmills Black Bush Irish Wh***ey and to add to the celebrations we’ll have Live music from 8pm.

Sunday 1st November, 6pm – Midnight. Free entry as per.
