KASK will be marking five years with birthday party
KASK, is celebrating five years, with a birthday party event this Saturday.
The wine bar located on North Street, Bedminster, is known for its organic, vegan and minimal intervention wines.
Since opening its doors, KASK has proven popular for wine lovers, breaking down the barriers to discovering different grapes and regions and offering a relaxed, approachable experience that, in the owners’ words, “stamps out the pretentiousness often found in the industry.”
is needed now More than ever
The anniversary celebration begins with the KASK team sharing some of their favourite Pet Nats wines – fun, naturally sparkling wines that perfectly embody KASK’s love for wines with character.
There will also be a Busker’s Banquet, a live music segment. Country, blues singer, PM Legrand will be playing, followed by DJ Jon Leisure, a long-time friend of KASK and stalwart of Bristol’s nightlife scene.

Throughout the event, KASK’s team will be pulling some of their favourite wines out of the cellar and down from the shelves and offering tasters.
Charlie Taylor, co-owner of KASK with his wife Natalie, said: “What started off as a “one day we’d love to open a bar like this” chat in San Sebastian has brought us to the fifth birthday party of KASK.
“Our whole aim was to match the experience of that little bar you stumble across while on a European city break, then tell all your friends about when you get home.
“Thanks to an epic team, fantastic importers, supportive neighbouring businesses on North Street and an incredible set of regulars, we’ve somehow survived this long, despite everything that’s been thrown at the hospitality sector in the last five years.”
KASK also regularly hosts pop-up kitchens, such as All About The Cooks or MAZI Project
KASK opened in 2019 with the mission to cut through the jargon and snobbery often associated with wine and to make wine fun, approachable, and – most importantly – delicious.
It has since built a loyal following, offering wines on tap and a philosophy that good wine is meant to be shared.
KASK has also now launched a loyalty programme for its regulars, offering discounts on both drink-in and take-home bottles, cut-price tastes of their most expensive bottles and priority access to their fortnightly sell-out tasting events.
Taylor explained: “We’ve always been focused on making it easier for our regulars to drink better wine for less, whether that’s through our investment in Wine on Tap, scouring our importer lists for deals, or searching for under-appreciated regions that offer fantastic value.

“There are some bottles we’d like them to enjoy, but the high prices contradict our desire to show that wine doesn’t need to be a luxury.
“So, as a thank you for getting us to five years, we’re offering the opportunity to get an exclusive corkage rate that will dramatically reduce the price of a bottle, as well as a glass of some expensive but very sexy wines for a price that will make it more accessible to try.”
There are no tickets for the event, but it will run from 2pm until close.
