Freehouse Collective has introduced an Irish-inspired pop-up experience called The Barrelman: Spirits of Dublin. Designed to celebrate the highly anticipated St. Patrick’s Day, the festive activation will run in Toronto and Vancouver until March 17th.
The Irish-inspired pop-up experience transforms The Walrus in Toronto and The Ballyhoo in Vancouver into lively venues, complete with themed décor, special menus, and live entertainment. Freehouse Collective's initiative is part of the annual Road to Dublin celebration, which highlights Irish culture through food, drinks, and interactive activities. Guests can enjoy signature cocktails from Jameson and Guinness, such as the Black Velvet Band and Irish Cold Brew, alongside traditional Irish pub fare like Mini Jambons, Spice Bag, and Chicken Fillet Roll. Additionally, every purchase from the feature menus comes with a scratch card offering instant prizes, including the chance to win Guinness for a Year.
