Killarney’s underground speakeasy bar, Pig’s Lane, is set to welcome one of Ireland’s most celebrated bars for a one-night-only takeover. On Thursday, November 21, the acclaimed CASK team, known for their innovative ‘farm-to-glass’ cocktails, will bring their award-winning craft cocktail experience to the Killarney hotspot.

The Cork crew, led by mixology visionary Andy Ferreira, has earned multiple prestigious accolades, including Best Cocktail Bar in Ireland in 2022 and Ireland’s Bar of the Year two years in a row. Known for drawing inspiration from Ireland’s rich natural landscape, CASK’s cocktails showcase the best of wild, seasonal ingredients with flavours sourced directly from local flora in a root-to-flower approach.

In what promises to be an unforgettable evening, guests at Pig’s Lane will have the chance to taste a selection of Cask Cork’s signature cocktails featuring quality blends from Diageo in celebration of the takeover.
Using their artisanal approach of uncovering extraordinary tastes and crafting one-of-a-kind drinks, expect vibrant yet bold classics that highlight unique, local ingredients. Showcased on the night will be the opulent ‘Hunters Flip’ featuring Roe & Co Whiskey, fat washed with Ballinwillin wild boar and quail egg, alongside ‘Ball Hoppin’, a juicy yet fruity concoction of Don Julio Tequila, sweet potato and smoked sea salt.
The versatile drinks menu at Pig’s Lane will also be available throughout the event, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy.

The event coincides with Killarney’s Christmas Dine in Killarney festivities, adding even more excitement to an already highly anticipated evening. Everyone is invited to the event, no tickets needed. It all kicks off at 8pm with DJ Darren Kelly setting the mood with smooth, upbeat tunes.
