Belfast Whiskey WeekCocktail Experience
Tue 28 July★9pm – 11pm★Muriel's Cafe Bar
A late-night celebration of the classic cocktail, in the bar that helped teach Belfast to drink better.
Muriel’s Cafe Bar on Church Lane put gin on the Belfast map and has been mixing with intent ever since — a snug, irreverent room that takes its drinks far more seriously than it takes itself. Exactly the place to spend a Tuesday night interrogating the classics.
You’ll work through four bespoke cocktails, each one a twist on a serve you think you already know. The bones of an Old Fashioned, a Sour, a Martini — rebuilt with Muriel’s own thinking and a few Belfast accents. Come curious; leave with a new favourite.
Important: This is an 18+ event. ID may be required on arrival.
