Best discount codes from Master of Malt, Laithwaites and more

If you’re missing the friendly atmosphere of the pub, the buzz of happy hour, or the clink of cocktail glasses, there is one pretty easy solution: bring the local into your own personalised bar.

Following a scorching May bank holiday, the allure of the pub beer garden has perhaps never been more tempting – not to mention the idea of seeing friends and colleagues, which still remains out of reach.

During these trying times, it’s no surprise that the virtual happy hour has become part of the new normal. The ritual of friends gathering via Zoom or Skype has made it possible to embrace a semblance of normality, but many still miss the creature comforts of their good old locals.

Obviously, there are many advantages to having your own bar at home. But if you need to sell it to someone else you live with, for one, there are no queues and it’s dramatically friendlier on your pocket – plus you can choose your own bar snacks and not get stuck with pork scratchings.

Luckily there’s also no dress code; whether you opt for slippers and a robe, or a floor length dress, you won’t find door staff patrolling your living room.

We’ve gathered the perfect set of deals and discounts not only to help you stock your bar, but to also create it from scratch. Whether your favourite tipple is a well-balanced, shaken cocktail, or simply a refreshing non-alcoholic fruit juice, the following brands will help you bring the bar to your home with just a few clicks.

Master of Malt

For connoisseurs of distilled spirits, we recommend Master of Malt. Founded in 1985 in Kent, originally the company used to only sell whisky by post.
