Talkhouse Encore

‘I grew up in a dive bar. Not just any dive bar though. It’s the smallest bar in the world putting on major national acts. Over 65 Members of the Rock n’Roll hall of fame have played here and a host of famous atletes, movie starts, amnd politicians have been here. But you’d never know it. It’s a place where everyone is equal and accepted. A place where you can show up in board shorts or a tuxedo and it’s all the same. I’ve seen ex-boyfriends’ local bands fill the room and Coldplay do the same. It’s a sanctuary that has comforted so many through good times, heartbreaks, and all the moments in between.’ - Ruby Honerkamp, founder of Talkhouse Encore

For generations, Talkhouse [THE BAR] has been a cultural landmark on the East End. Unassuming in size but legendary in spirit, this little bar has drawn world-class talent—from Billy Joel to Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters—without ever losing its intimate, welcoming soul. No one captures its essence better than Ruby Honerkamp, daughter of the bar’s longtime owner and now the visionary behind its next act.

Talkhouse Encore [THE DRINK] was born in October 2020, in the heart of the pandemic. When the doors were closed and the stage lights dimmed, Ruby found a new way to keep the music—and the magic—alive. Talkhouse Encore isn’t just a drink. It’s the spirit of the bar, bottled.

Together with the design team from Reference, Ruby and family have created a brand the embodies “music in a can” and “play forever”. We created the Talkhouse Encore website to match this spirited approach.
