Dewer’s Lock Inn Launches in Melbourne

The Grace Hotel on Smith Street, Collingwood has just launched the Dewar’s Lock Inn. A pop-up whisky bar created to celebrate the life of Tommy Dewar, the Lock Inn invites the public to sample Dewar’s full range of whiskies and some of its award-winning single malts.

Tommy Dewar was the maverick son of the Dewar’s founder, John Dewar. Andy Wren, Brand Ambassador for Dewar’s Whisky explains, “Tommy Dewar was just such a great character. He knew his Dad’s Whisky was great but also knew the value of advertising and generating publicity.

“He also coined some fantastic wee phrases, now known as Dewarism’s, my personal favourites being “We have a great regard for old age. When it’s bottled” and “never question your wife’s judgement – look who she married.”

“The Dewar’s Lock Inn is an opportunity to share some drams and stories about Tommy, a place to relax with mates over some great whisky and away from the cold Melbourne winter!”

The Lock Inn will run every Thursday, Friday and Saturday from August 4th to September 3rd, 7pm til late. Passes are available to skip the queue on Time Out Melbourne’s website.
