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 21st, 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.
Since opening the doors of the underground bar only 12 months ago, Pig’s Lane is quickly becoming known for its unique and innovative approach to hospitality, with previous collaborations including Dublin’s BAR 1661. The venue has earned a reputation for its passion for quality, style, and sustainability, and was recently awarded ‘Innovative Bar of the Year’ at the 2024 Bar of the Year Awards. Both Cask Cork and Pig’s Lane are shortlisted for ‘Best Cocktail Experience’ in the upcoming Food and Wine Restaurant of the Year Awards later this November.
Two-time World Championship Mixologist and Drinks Development Manager for the O’Donoghue Ring Collection and Pig’s Lane, Ariel Sanecki said of the upcoming takeover, “We are really excited to have Andy and his incredible team join us for this exclusive takeover. CASK are renowned for their unique approach to curating hyper-local cocktails, bringing out extraordinary flavours in every blend. Guests are in for a real treat on what promises to be an epic evening in the midst of Killarney’s Christmas Dine in Killarney series.”
