Potions and Vittles: Whiskey Cocktails & Bites Pairing

Join us again for our fourth installment of Cocktails & Bites.

Be sure to get your tickets while you can! Ticket options include a single ticket for $95/person, or bring a friend and get a discount for $85/person (choose the buddy pack on the tickets page for this).

Join us for an intimate evening (22 seats) at one of Chicago's newest bars, The Alley Cat, of imbibing on whiskey potions brewed for you by Alessia Serafino and sinking your teeth on matching vittles crafted for you by Chef Jaymes Berry.

This guided tasting experience features four unique pairings. Throughout the evening, Alessia will share history, traditions and production methods of whiskey, while Chef Jaymes Berry discusses the inspiration behind the culinary pairings.

Doors open at 6:30pm for a welcome bite and mingling to get to know your fellow spooks. Chatting with someone you did not arrive with is highly encouraged (and makes for an even better evening)!

Whether you're a cocktail enthusiast, food lover, or simply looking for a unique night out, this event offers a delicious journey through the wonders of whiskey in a relaxed and engaging setting.
