Andy Ferreira is the creative force behind two of Ireland’s most renowned cocktail bars, Cask and Paladar in Cork City.

Cask is renowned for its nature inspired, farm to glass drinks list, centred around Irish spirits and native ingredients. It has just released its first annual cocktail menu, Tasty Anarchy. Across sixteen drinks, the team has collaborated with individuals who are quietly reshaping how we interact with the land. The menu is a rejection of the conventional and the mass-produced, in favour of what is painstakingly slow, deeply local, and unapologetically wild.

Paladar, on the other hand, is a Latin American inspired cocktail bar and kitchen that seeks to capture the culture and vibrancy of this remarkable region through its unique food, drink, and music. In its first year, Paladar was nominated for a prestigious Tales of the Cocktail award in the “Best New Cocktail Bar in Europe” category. It was also crowned “Best Overall Bar” in Ireland for two consecutive years.Andy will be making a guest appearance at the Festival Bar on Saturday night along with hosting two cocktail hands on workshops in the Big Shed.
