Northern Quarter hang-out spot Trof is celebrating World Bourbon Day in style with a speakeasy takeover and a big bourbon blowout that’s completely free to attend. Pay them a visit on Fri 14 Jun and you’ll find this popular city-centre haunt transformed into a prohibition era booze den, complete with cocktails, live music and – in keeping with World Bourbon Day – plenty of whiskey. Those looking to wet their whistles will be able to order an array of bourbon powered drinks, including Whiskey Sours, Mint Juleps, Barrel Aged Old Fashioneds and their extra special Bourbon Of the Week, Four Roses – all while enjoying a soundtrack of swingin’ jazz and brass music courtesy of live, in-house musicians. Make no mistake, Trof are in the mood to schmooze and are even offering prizes for those who turn up in the very best prohibition-era fancy dress outfits. With no shortage of vintage shops lurking in the Northern Quarter – it couldn’t be easier to bag yourself some bourbon goodies.
