2024 Events

Curious what we're up to in 2024? The fantastic news of Whiskey and Dust in 2024 is that we're partnering with the Golden Guy Alley, and will be running a  WHISKEY BAR in the Alley!

In 2024, Whiskey and Dust is going back-to-basics: Whiskey and Dust will consist of a bar, a speakeasy, and supporting the arts in the form of two Mutant Vehicles. Yes, upfront and in your face...we can't stop but run a WHISKEY BAR! And not some swill-drinkin’ frat boy moonshine bullshit, but Actual Quality Whiskey. Real whiskey from real bottles poured by real bartenders. We pride ourselves on serving a wide selection of mid to high-end whiskies from around the world, all sampled and approved by our highly educated whiskey-loving members. Unless of course you’re a douche, then we have a lovely bottle of Screwball set aside just for you. So come by Whiskey and Dust in the Golden Guy Alley, and have yourself an actual quality drink on the Playa, it’s our pleasure to serve you.

Mutant Vehicle Support  ... For many many years, Ma'am the Mammoth has been a core part of Whiskey and Dust. In 2024, Whiskey and Dust will be supporting Harvie Branscomb and Yayoi Wakabayashi's Ma'am the Mammoth as a Mutant Vehicle Support Camp to ensure its safe return. In addition, the Whiskey and Dust Mutant Vehicle Support Camp is will be supporting Frederick the Nautilus  for its 15th return to Black Rock City.

Curiouser: Whiskey and Dust Speakeasy ...oops... we already said too much... don't look for it, don't ask our bar tenders; they'll probably deny its existence or knowing anything about it...

Because what else are you going to do after Temple Burn but drown your sorrows in whiskey? Help us drink it all so we don't have to lug it home. Let’s drink a last toast to this city before it all burns to the ground.
