The Whiskey

01/04/2026

Well well well… look who’s allowed out on Good Friday 😈

After years of behaving ourselves (lol), the rules have changed…
and we are absolutely taking full advantage.

🍻 Whiskey is OPEN all Easter weekend
Good Friday → Easter Sunday → Easter Monday
🕔 5PM – 3AM. Every. Single. Night.

Same loud music.
Same strong pours.
Same questionable decisions.

Just… more nights to do it.

See you from 5 👀

🎄🥃 Merry Christmas from The Whiskey! 🥃

We’re closed today so the crew can put their feet up, unwrap a few things, and pretend they’re not thinking about you lot for 24 hours. 😉

BUT… shhh… If you’re out late tonight, we will be quietly opening our doors from midnight to 3am. (Yes, technically that’s still Christmas Day… and yes, you’re welcome.) Enjoy the day, eat too much, be merry and if you need a nightcap after the chaos, you know where we’ll be. 🎅✨
