OYSTERS and Guinness, an intriguing culinary combination that once graced the tables of traditional pubs across Ireland, is making a resurgence at Malones Leith.
Starting on Thursday November 30, the Malone family’s latest venue is to host a series of Oysters & Guinness Nights on its mezzanine level, in partnership with The Oysterman.
Historically, the pairing of Oysters & Guinness was a common sight in pubs across Ireland, but it wasn’t until a member of British elite tasted the combination that it became an officially recognised dish.
Since then, it has become a part of the country’s cultural and culinary heritage – and is still provided on the menu in the Guinness Brewery itself.
Malones’ inaugural oyster evening on the 30th – which is ticket only – begins with a welcome drink at the bar before heading upstairs for the Guinness and oyster tasting, before returning to the bar for some live music and yet more Guinness.
