August marks the final month of our We Call This Power tasting experience.

Last year, our We Call This Power menu was recognised as a Top 4 Global Finalist for World’s Best Menu at Tales of the Cocktail. This year, it was shortlisted among the Top 10 menus in the world.

August is the last chance to experience this menu, dedicated to the people, places and ideas that continue to shape contemporary Irish drinks culture.

Limited dates remain.

We’re handing over the tasting room for an evening with Clan Colla, an Irish whiskey rooted in the legacy of The Three Collas, but built with a firmly modern hand. Rich cask influence, careful balance, contemporary blending: a style that knows where Irish whiskey came from without being tied to it.
Guiding us through the lineup is Niall Murray of Ahascragh Distillery, who’ll talk us through each pour, the thinking behind the blends, the influences that shaped them, and the traditions the brand carries forward.
Expect bold, layered whiskeys, plenty to talk about, and the kind of evening best spent in good company.
Wednesday 24th June, 7.30pm
€35 - includes 5 drams + a cocktail on arrival

For Stillgarden, community provides a sense of home.

From their Dublin distillery and garden, they combine science, nature and locally grown ingredients to create spirits with a distinct sense of place. Through initiatives like their Social Botanist programme, they’ve helped transform urban spaces into thriving habitats for both people and wildlife.

Their O’Maro amaro is a key ingredient in Geotropic, bringing bright botanical character to a drink built around Bán poitín, rosé, grape brandy, coconut and strawberry.

A cocktail inspired by a distillery that’s proving good things grow when people come together.

Geotropic. Bán poitín, Stillgarden’s O’Maro amaro, Regal Rogue rosé, grape brandy, coconut, strawberry. A mix between a Miami Vice, a Negroni and a Strawberry Daquiri… seriously! Tastes like strawberry sponge and roasted coconut, which is to say it tastes like a bank holiday should. No work today. Take the long way home.

Next stop, New Orleans.

Whatever the outcome, we’re proud of exactly where we are. To be named among the best in the world, twice over, is something none of us take lightly. And honestly? We cannot wait to hit New Orleans.
To everyone who’s pulled up a seat at BAR 1661, this one’s for you.

We Call This Power has been named a Top 10 nominee for World’s Best Cocktail Menu at the Tales of the Cocktail Spirited Awards, and there’s still a rare chance to taste it cover to cover.
Our two guided experiences take you through the menu drink by drink, with the stories, techniques and partnerships behind every serve:
The Immersive Experience - three hours, 28 drinks, our full menu in mini serves.
The Distilled Experience - newly launched. Ninety minutes, 14 drinks, an early-evening tasting that bookends with our Belfast Coffee and Irish Coffee.
Tickets are available through to the end of July, and August will be the final month for the Power menu experiences. Once it closes, it closes - because something new is coming this autumn.

To be named among this calibre of bars, from Paris to Bangkok to Barcelona to New York, is something we don’t take lightly. The menu is the work of a team that pours everything into every pour. Thank you to the Spirited Awards, and to everyone who’s pulled up a seat at BAR 1661.

We have a few tickets remaining for our tasting tomorrow night.

Hosted by Shane McCarthy, co-founder of the brand, the tasting offers a firsthand look into the thinking behind one of Ireland’s most progressive whiskey projects.

Expect a dynamic lineup that showcases their approach to sourcing, blending, and cask innovation, highlighting the versatility and evolving character of modern Irish whiskey. Each pour reveals a different facet of their philosophy, from tradition to experimentation, without losing sight of balance and drinkability.

Progressive, flavour-driven, and unapologetically different, this is a chance to experience Two Stacks Whiskey up close, guided by one of the minds shaping its story.

Each ticket includes a cocktail on arrival + 5 drams.
