This Surry Hills barbecue bar provides a happy balance to the Sydney vs Stateside seesaw with classic slow-cooked American briskets, brews featuring all our local craft faves, and a healthy serving of footy on the side. When you bring in your less-than-inspiring Father’s Day gift to the Firebins for the sock exchange for shots here, grab a helping of extra spicy wings and onion rings to match the rousing burn of the Fireball shot. It’s a great way to fuel up and kick off any evening.
Socks are the gift-giving saviour. They’re cheap, can be a little cheeky, and are necessary for the shoe-wearing populace. So it’s understandable that on Father’s Day many dads are overwhelmed with squishy, poorly wrapped oblongs that can only be one thing: socks. While some will appreciate the standard stocking filler, at some point you simply run out of room in the top drawer for another pair of awkward ‘day of the week’ toe warmers.
If you want to get some extra value out of these unwanted socks, look to the warming, party-starting beverage, Fireball Cinnamon Whisky. This smooth dram is cheering dads by letting them trade in their "shit" Father’s Day socks for a shot of Fireball in bars and pubs around Sydney. Simply present your new sad socks at the participating venues from September 1-7 and you’ll be rewarded with a blast of sweet, spicy whisky.
The Shit Socks for Shots campaign will also involve Fireball turning the unwanted socks into dog toys and chews to be donated to local dog shelters and rescue centres – so the puppers come out on top too.
