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.

We’ve also got to shout out the incredible line-up of bars and brands who made the Irish House what it was: Casements, Bartley Dunne’s, The Dead Rabbit, Cask, 1661, Nickel City, Bar Snack, Nubeluz, Hawksmoor, Swift, Muff Irish Whiskey, Valentia Island Vermouth, Foxes Bow Whiskey, Tullamore D.E.W, Guinness, Mad March Hare Poitín with Poachers Ginger Beer, Jameson Original, Jameson Triple Triple, Jameson Black Barrel, Boatyard Double Gin, Five Farms Irish Cream, Teeling Small Batch, Bushmills 12, Bushmills 16, Bushmills 21, Glendalough Irish Botanical Gin, Glendalough Irish Rose Gin, and Lost Irish Whiskey.
