Edinburgh pub launches £7k Boston holiday giveaway
The Boston Bar, an Irish-American establishment, is offering punters the chance to win a three-night-stay in Boston worth £7000 to mark the opening of its new basement space, Downtown. The trip includes return flights from Edinburgh, a four-star hotel, curated experiences and a food and drink allowance for the winner and a plus one. READ MORE: Spider-Man wows crowds with stunts during blockbuster filming on city streets Downtown is said to be inspired by the 'traditional Irish pubs of Donegal' and the 'buzzing bar culture' of Boston. Owner Edward Fox said: 'We wanted Downtown to feel like a little slice of my wife's homeland, Donegal, in the heart of Edinburgh, but with a nod to Boston's gritty charm. 'It's a space that's warm, welcoming and full of life – somewhere you can pop in for a quiet drink or make a night of it. The Boston trip giveaway felt like the perfect way to celebrate this next chapter for the bar.' The interiors of the new space blend dark wood, exposed sandstone walls and antiques sourced from Ireland, the USA and local auction houses. Downtown shows a range of live Irish sports, including Gaelic football and hurling – a stick-and-ball game played by teams of 15. Live trad music sessions will be hosted in the venue on Mondays and Tuesdays from September 15, with Irish comedy nights set to be introduced from October. The space is available to book for private events for groups of 20-100 people and areas are available to book for group sports viewings and the food menu will be similar to its upstairs counterpart, featuring spice bags and Sunday roasts. READ MORE: Jousting event featuring Robert the Bruce to take place in Highland fortress Downtown also offers classic drinks like pints of Guiness and craft beers, as well as themed cocktails, such as the Galway Girl and Fenway Old Fashioned. To enter the competition for the Boston trip, participants must share the giveaway post on their Instagram story, tag a friend in the comment section and follow the bar's official account. Extra entries can be made by booking a table and visiting the Boston Bar before September 28. The winner will be announced on September 30 and must be able to travel between October 1 until December 31 2025.
