The Barrelman: Spirits of Dublin Popup Comes to Toronto & Vancouver
We’re bringing the spirit of Dublin to Toronto and Vancouver with The Barrelman: Spirits of Dublin Popup
At Freehouse Collective, we’re celebrating St. Patrick's Day and the spirit of conviviality it inspires by transforming Toronto's The Walrus and Vancouver's The Ballyhoo into The Barrelman: Spirits of Dublin Popup. These popup cocktail bars transport our guests to the Emerald Isle and set the stage for our pub-wide, annual Road to Dublin, a month-long celebration of St. Paddy’s with Irish food and drink features, live entertainment, and instant win scratch cards.
The Barrelman: Spirits of Dublin Popup brings special events, festive décor, and feature menus to Toronto and Vancouver.
It's no surprise that St. Patrick's Day has become inseparably connected with our event partners, Jameson Distilling and Guinness. Founded in the 18th century less than a mile apart in Dublin, they’ve become icons enjoyed around the world and essential stops on any visit to the city.
Both Jameson and Guinness anchor our special drinks menu, featuring cocktails like the Black Velvet Band and Irish Cold Brew alongside the originals. Our food menu includes Irish pub classics like Mini Jambons, Spice Bag, Curry Cheese Chips, and the iconic Chicken Fillet Roll.
Even better, every purchase from our special menus earns a scratch card with a top prize of ‘Guinness for a Year’, alongside a bevy of instant prizes to be won and enjoyed.
