Live from Bourbon Street: The Irish House at Tales 2025

This week, we’re taking you straight to Bourbon Street for a very special episode recorded live at the legendary Irish House event during Tales of the Cocktail 2025.

Forget the quiet studio chat — this one’s got rooftop terrace energy, full-on party vibes, and the kind of background noise that puts you right there in the middle of it all. Over the course of the night, Damian grabbed mini-interviews with some of the biggest names in Irish hospitality, including:

• Dave Mulligan – Bar 1661, Dublin
• Laura Bonner – Muff Liquor Company, Donegal
• Jack McGarry – The Dead Rabbit, New York
• Tim Herlihy – Lost Irish Whiskey & event organiser
• Darragh Flanagan – Bord Bia (Irish Food & Drink Board)
• Alice Carroll – Foxes Bow Whiskey
• Gillian Fitzgerald – Casements Bar, San Francisco
• Leah Doyle – Ardc Agency & event organiser
• 
  

You’ll hear stories, laughs, and plenty of unfiltered moments from a night that showcased the very best of Irish bars and brands on the world stage.
