Providence’s The Eddy hosted a bar pop-up event featuring the talents of bartenders from Boston’s The Wig Shop Cocktail Lounge on Aug. 13. Sponsored by Heaven Hill Distillery, guests were treated to a special cocktail menu straight from the acclaimed cocktail lounge crafted by Wig Shop Bar Managers Oscar Simoza and Ryan Beccera. The bar is as much known for its whimsical nod to the former venue that served as a wig shop for 50 years as it is for its current creative libations. The guest bartenders featured Heaven Hill’s Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, Vago Mezcal, Bluecoat American Dry Gin and Evan Williams Bourbon among brands.
