Founded in 2015 by yours truly, International Poitín Day is dedicated to celebrating the original Irish moonshine and the rebellious souls who kept it alive during its days of illegality.

Founded in 2015 by us at The Sun Tavern, 18^th November is International Poitín Day, dedicated to celebrating the original Irish moonshine and the rebellious souls who kept it alive during its days of illegality. Year round advocates of the first Uisce beatha, we boast the world’s largest legal collection of Poitín, using it in our mixed drinks and selling it by the bottle.

This year we’ve collaborated with Dublin’s Bar 1661, Bán Poitín and Mad March Hare to offer a Poitín based cocktail menu comprised of drinks new and old from both The Sun Tavern and Bar 1661 including the famous Belfast Coffee – available on November 18th only.
