The Royal Stinger will run past midnight and the haggis will be sliding as The Fairmont Royal York’s Library Bar marks Robbie Burns Day from 12 Noon through to 1 AM on Tuesday, January 25, 2011.
In the spirit of Burns’ namesake day, The Library Bar will pour and pair a variety of Scotch whiskeys and beers, including the hotel’s exclusive rooftop honey beer, to “Haggis Sliders” and other specialized Scottish menu items.
Hear what the team have in store by listening to Episode #12 of Radio Royal York: Robbie Burns Day In The Library Bar.
Robbie Burns, a pioneer of the Romantic Movement, has become a handsome voice for the Scottish nation, with dinners held in his honour for over 200 years. A young lad romanced by words, Robert Burns grew up in poverty, but never settled for labouring in the fields, instead he produced poems, songs and letters chronicling the life of the common Scotsman.
Poems and songs of Burns that remain well-known across the world today include “A Red, Red Rose”, “A Man’s A Man for A’ That”, “To a Louse”, “To a Mouse”, “The Battle of Sherramuir”, “Tam o’ Shanter” and “Ae Fond Kiss”.
The Robbie Burns Day menu features Scotch Broth, Haggis Sliders, Yukon Gold Fries, and a Haggis carving station complemented by a collection of over 25 rare and single malt Scotch whiskeys. For a list of our collection, right-click on the link to download.
