The only bar to do this in for the last 10 years…

… who else? It’s your friendly neighbourhood bartenders at The Strait. 

In 2016 Old Fashioned Week was launched in Paris by drinks legend Cyrille Hugon and he inexplicably teamed up with  The Strait and Narrow to as the sole representatives in the UK. We obviously lept at the chance and based our drinks on the 1984 film Ghostbusters. Cyrille was moved to tears… what kind of tears has been lost in time but it set the standard for us to be the only bar in the UK to participate in every Old Fashioned Week. The criteria? Well our criteria…Seriously good drinks based upon culturally irrelevant, ridiculous and barely comprehensible promos - with giveaways…

Over the years of doing OFW we’ve teamed up with and wasted the promotional budgets of some amazing drinks producers but none more so than Woodford Reserve. Fortunately for us sales are record-breaking so they have little choice but to tolerate our buffoonery and we take the equal challenges of incredible drinks and getting them in all kinds of bother and hilarious jams very seriously.

So - THIS IS NOT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE! - sit back and take in our greatest hits from the last 10 years from such cultural touchstones as the TV show The Blacklist, Fast and the Furious 6, Anchorman, WWF Wrestling, Ghostbusters, Reservoir Dogs, Into The Spider-verse, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater and everyone’s favourite pandemic Covid-19…

So here’s our mixtape, our love letter to Old Fashioneds and the favourite ones we’ve made… 

You know what to expect from us by now, could be our best menu yet…
