With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner, The Plaza Hotel is bringing a touch of Ireland to New York City. For a limited time, the hotel’s elegant Rose Club will transform into The Rose Pub, a cozy, upscale take on a traditional Irish pub, in partnership with Bushmills Irish Whiskey.

Blending classic pub charm with The Plaza’s signature sophistication, The Rose Pub will feature mahogany accents, wooden whiskey barrels, and subtle nods to Northern Ireland. Guests can sip on expertly crafted whiskey cocktails while soaking in the festive atmosphere.

Adding to the experience, The Sarafina’s Irish-step-trained dancers will take the stage on select evenings, bringing Irish traditions to life with their precise footwork and rhythmic performances. Plus, for the first weekend, Bushmills will host private whiskey masterclasses, giving guests a chance to dive into the history of Irish whiskey-making.

The Rose Pub offers a delightful selection of signature cocktails that perfectly complement its cozy, luxurious atmosphere, featuring Bushmills Irish Whiskey in every glass.

Start with the “Pot of Gold,” a decadent creation with Bushmills 10 Year Old, Orange Demerara syrup, and whipping cream, topped with 24k gold flakes and a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg. Served in a Nick & Nora glass, it’s a frothy, golden treat that’s as beautiful as it is delicious.

For a twist on the classic, try “Not Your Average Irish Coffee,” made with Bushmills 12 Year Old, coffee liqueur, and New York Roasted Del’aria Espresso, served in a coupe glass with a delicate rose stencil topper.

If you’re in the mood for something with a bit more depth, “The Oldest Fashion” blends Bushmills 16 Year Old, Demerara syrup, apple bitters, and is garnished with an orange peel and brandied cherry.

And for those seeking something truly extraordinary, Bushmills 46 Year Old Single Malt will be available, an exclusive treat for guests looking to try the oldest Irish Single Malt ever released from the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world.

The Rose Pub will officially open its doors on Friday, March 14th, and will be available through March 29th. Reservations can be made via OpenTable Experiences.

Be 007 for a day: Aston Martin celebrates Goldfinger’s 60th anniversary

For many, 1964’s Goldfinger is the quintessential James Bond film. There’s Sean Connery, with his cool, deep Scottish accent, smoothly handling business. There’s Auric Goldfinger, the definition of super villain, with his odd gold obsession, and plan for world domination. Even the theme song — written by John Barry and sung by Shirley Brass — captured the 007 aura of elegance and adventure.

Irish beer: Celebrate the luck of the Irish in the best tasting way possible this year
Group of happy friends drinking and toasting beer at brewery bar restaurant.

The annual celebration of St. Patrick’s Day comes with a few guarantees. Green t-shirts will be adorned with obnoxious sayings. Leprechauns will be blamed for causing mischief. And the dry Irish stout Guinness will be inescapable on tap, in bottles, and in cans from coast to coast.
Guinness is so synonymous with Ireland, it is practically the national beverage. However, this mindset overlooks the dozens of smaller craft breweries found throughout Ireland’s cities and townships, and dotted along its famously beautiful countryside. If you’re ever lucky enough to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in Ireland, enjoy your token Guinness in the airport and then head out to experience one of these independent breweries for an Irish beer you haven't tasted yet.
