A bar has given a nod to Saltburn’s strangest scenes by hosting a themed night dedicated to the film, complete with a bathtub, ‘Gin J**z’ cocktails and ostentatious costumes, referencing some of the most disturbing parts of the movie.
The £25-a-head party at The Raven in Bristol promised a “journey into decadence” for its guests, as revelers partied on Friday night.
The 2023 hit movie’s explicit bathroom scene was one of its biggest talking points, leaving some viewers “traumatized.”
In the scandalous sequence, Oliver Quick (Barry Keoghan), in love with his fellow student Felix Catton (Jacob Elordi), secretly drinks his bathwater while draining from the bathtub.
The Raven’s ‘An Evening At Saltburn’ offered guests cocktails inspired by the bold moment and the chance to pose in their own version of the bathroom.
A bar has divided opinion by hosting a Saltburn themed night – complete with even that bathtub.
“It was a kaleidoscope: A midsummer night’s dream crossed with Saltburn’s grunge aesthetic,” said one partygoer.
“What impressed us the most was the burlesque dancer, who performed with fire.
‘Our favorite cocktail was the Bath Gin J**z – it tasted like sorbet and slightly salty.
“I also loved the quiet butler, who greeted guests upon arrival and handed out egg treats, a great reference to the movie in which Ollie (Barry Keoghan) asks for eggs.
“It was a great night; all I needed was Barry Keoghan.”
An Instagram ad for the Feb. 23 event also promised DJs, burlesque and other “roaring performers.”
Meanwhile, drinks on the cocktail menu included ‘Bath Gin J**z’, ‘Blood and Pants’ and ‘Sex on the Grave’, the latter referencing another controversial scene.
Many revelers wore Barry Keoghan-inspired deer antlers and extravagant outfits associated with the film’s rich party culture.
