3rd Annual “Premier Drams” @ Jack Rose Dining Saloon
Tickets
Jun 26 @ 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM
On Sunday, June 26, the award-winning Washington, DC whiskey mecca Jack Rose Dining Saloon and owner Bill Thomas will once again host their very own whiskey festival: the 3rd Annual “Premier Drams” – a celebration of cask-strength, new and rare. Self-described as “not your typical whisk(e)y festival,” this afternoon tasting will feature 15+ curated stations of unique bourbons, ryes, scotches and international whiskeys, plus new bottle unveilings, blind tastings, craft cocktails, distiller meet-and-greets and more from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Jack Rose’s 3rd annual event was actually planned for April 2020, but was postponed due to the pandemic. Owner/collector Bill Thomas is thrilled to be able to bring back the popular tasting festival this year.
All three floors of Jack Rose will play host to the massive festival, which sold out in two weeks its previous year, inviting hundreds of whiskey lovers near and far to taste oddities reaching beyond the basic bottles found on liquor store shelves. Distillers such as Kentucky’s Willett, Wilderness Trail, Bardstown Barrel Company and New Riff, and Charleston, SC’s High Wire will bring special barrel picks; while scotch-lovers can taste cask-strength single malts hand-picked by Scotch Malt Whisky Society and Single Cask Nation. Attendees can also explore the world through whisk(e)y, with tastings of international expressions hailing from Japan and India.
Jack Rose’s award-winning bar team will create specially crafted whiskey cocktails for guests, and hors d’oeuvres will be passed throughout the afternoon.
“The festival grew so much from our initial event in 2018, and each year just gets better and better. Tickets have sold out within weeks both years, and we constantly have guests telling us it’s the best whiskey festival they’ve ever been to,” says owner Bill Thomas. “The quality of the whiskey these distilleries and brands bring is incredible, and this year’s Premier Drams will continue to ‘wow’.”
“This year, we’re looking forward to an expanded blind tasting with some incredible prizes, and bringing some new exhibitors on board like the Scotch Malt Whisky Society (SMWS) and Single Cask Nation. It’s the one time every year when you can find some of the best distilleries in the world all in one room, with beyond-baseline bottles to try.
“Of course, our festival is different from anything else. We’re shining the light on hidden gems — rarities you can’t try anywhere else, cask-strength expressions straight from barrel to bottle, limited-edition releases, brand-new products on the market, never-released barrel samples, you name it. But it’s also affordable, one of the best deals out there for the true whisk(e)y lover.”
Tickets to Jack Rose’s 3rd Annual “Premier Drams” whisk(e)y festival are $145/person (excluding tax & gratuity), which includes tastings at each whiskey station, plus craft cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, a souvenir Glencairn glass and more. Tickets can be purchased through Tock at https://www.exploretock.com/jackrosediningsaloon/event/338298/3rd-annual-premier-drams-whiskey-festival.
The 3rd Annual “Premier Drams” takes place on Sunday, June 26 from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. throughout the building. The full lineup will be announced in May 2022. For more information, please visit www.jackrosediningsaloon.com or call 202-588-7388.

Harvey’s Neighborhood “Battle of Broad Street” @ Harvey's
Tickets
Jul 20 @ 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
The event is taking place on Wednesday July 20, 2022, from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
WHERE: Harvey’s, located in downtown Falls Church, VA, at 513 W. Broad Street, 22046
WHAT: Harvey’s will be donating 10% of the total sales raised on this special evening to the Falls Church Education Foundation. The Neighborhood Barbershop crew and Fin of Mister Finster’s Tattoo Studio will be preparing four food items for sale during the event, each priced at $10 per serving. The three barber contenders will compete for the bestselling dish of the day with the following selections: Dustin’s – Beyond Beef Kofta, Pickled Pineapple Bacon, Chili Sauce; Jay’s – Bacon Wrapped Poblano Pepper stuffed with Chicken Andouille Sausage, corn and Pimiento Cheese and Will’s – Beef stuffed with Harvey’s Mac and Cheese Sauce, rolled in Chiccarones and Barber Sauce. Fin of Finster’s is meeting the food challenge with Fin’s English Roast, Yorkshire pudding and Brown Gravy.
The three battling barbers and tattoo artist have agreed to this friendly competition. The dish that proves to be most popular among the public, selling out first, will become a featured item on Harvey’s menu for one month. The choice dish will continue the fundraising effort. $1 from the sale of each serving of the winning dish at Harvey’s will benefit the Falls Church Education Foundation (FCEF), culminating the end of August, with the gift attributed in the winner’s name. The losing participant, who created the dish that had the least sales on July 20, will receive a replica of the winning dish, in the form of a new permanent tattoo, courtesy of Mister Finster’s Tattoo Studio. The tattoo designs, representing the four competition dishes, will be on display on July 20, over the grill for all to see, to assist with the tally reveal.
Audacious Aleworks and Metro Cellars will be on site pouring selections to pair with each dish. Prices for the featured beverages of this fun-filled evening range from $8-$12 a drink.
“It is a wonderful opportunity to be able to collaborate with our gracious neighbors to give back to the community we serve,” explains Thomas Harvey, the owner and chef of Harvey’s. “We are blessed to have an expansive patio and vibrant partners who enjoy a bit of artistic and friendly competition for a worthy cause. It is exciting to be a part of small businesses in Falls Church who are coming together to assist with the future of this dynamic area. This was an easy decision for us. Any way we can help our community through education is a win for everyone.”
WHY: Falls Church Education Foundation was founded on a commitment to quality education, and that commitment creates a strong bond amongst citizens, teachers, elected officials, and businesses in our little city. The Falls Church Education Foundation (FCEF) was created in 2004 as a 501(c)3 to raise, manage and distribute supplemental funds to enhance the educational experience of Falls Church City Public School (FCCPS) students.
In the 2020-21 academic school year, FCEF awarded over $300,000 in funds to our FCCPS students and staff. Giving is aligned with the FCCPS three pillars: equity of access, staff readiness and preparing students to function in the 21st century. The mission of the FCEF is to support Falls Church City Public Schools by ensuring equity of access, staff readiness, and student preparedness for the 21st century.
Harvey’s is in downtown Falls Church at 513 W. Broad Street, 20046. The restaurant is located 1.3 miles from the West Falls Church metro and 1.8 miles from the East Falls Church metro accessible on the silver and orange lines. For additional information, please call (540) 268-6100 or visit https://harveysva.com.
