Last night Bank and Bourbon hosted their inaugural Bourbon Bash at the restaurant. Over 300 people came out to Chef Thomas Harkin’s delicious fare, and enjoy spirits generously sponsored by Southern Wine & Spirits and curated by their own bourbon master Brian Bevilacqua. Bank and Bourbon has gotten rave reviews for their menu since the Loews Hotel eatery opened a year ago, which is probably why the place was so packed last night. It was a ticketed, all-you-can-eat steak-and-bourbon party for $49, which benefited Donors Choose — a charity through which teachers request classroom materials and donors choose who to donate to. Bank and Bourbon’s GM Sean Glancy hopes to make this an annual event, attracting more people and raising more money for charity.
