Firewhisky Inn
Melbourne bar masters the dark arts of whiskey distillation with new Harry Potter-themed pop-up bar.
Overview
Butterbeer was all well and good before we reached legal drinking age, but as time marches on and the scars left by departed friends refuse to heal (I'm looking at you, Ghost Dobby), we find ourselves searching for something a little stronger. It's not the keen sting of love that Dumbledore remembered, but it is a keen sting. We're talking about Firewhisky. Lots of it. In Melbourne. This weekend.
If you've always fancied yourself a decent chance of drinking Igor Karkaroff under the table, point the Ford Anglia toward South Yarra – Good Things, which delivered the pop-up Butterbeer Bar last year is at it again, but this time they have the key to Hagrid's liquor cabinet.
Firewhisky Inn will run from 7-10pm this Friday, giving all who attend another chance to plunge back into Harry's universe (and to drink your memories of The Cursed Child away while you're at it). Entry is free, with custom-made Firewhiskey glasses on offer for those who get in quick. Fair warning, though – anyone who can't handle a broom by 10pm will be expected to catch the Knight Bus home.
