In the lead-up to Father’s Day this year, we teamed up with our friends at Toronto-based men’s publication SHARP Magazine to host an event that attending fathers and sons would remember for years to come.


On Thursday, June 5, we held an exclusive speakeasy experience within the low-key lower level of our flagship Bloor Street store in downtown Toronto.


Select father-son duos (shoppers at Harry’s and subscribers of SHARP’s) were invited behind the curtain to this after-hours event, where specialty drinks, appetizers, giveaways, and private shopping opportunities awaited.


Introductory remarks from Ian Rosen, President & COO of Harry Rosen, and Michael La Fave, CCO & Co-Founder of SHARP Magazine, welcomed guests while reiterating the focus of the event: fatherhood. This event was designed to offer a unique experience for father’s, sons, and guests to enjoy valuable time spent together, as well as reflect on the values of fatherhood.



Custom Cocktails: The Macallan Way

The speakeasy experience was hosted by professionals from BarChef, one of Toronto’s premier cocktail bars, with a menu heavily featuring single malt scotch from our partners The Macallan, one of the world’s most revered whisky distilleries.


Light bites complemented the cocktail tasting menu while clients were encouraged to mingle and explore the latest summer collections in-store — and perhaps share a few gift hints ahead of Father’s Day?



Gifts & Keepsakes

Those who upgraded their wardrobes were also treated to an exclusive one-night-only offer; all purchases of $750 or more spent during the event received a free bottle of The Macallan Double Cask 12-Year-Old scotch.


Whether you spent enough for a bottle of scotch or not, all glass items sold during the event (such as fragrances, grooming items, etc.) were entitled to free engraving from an on-site expert.


Everyone received a special gift from partners and watch specialists WOLF 1834, who sent all event attendees home with one of their signature watch rolls — the perfect resting place for any fine timepiece.
