The best part? You decide the winner. Attendees can sample each bar’s cocktail, then cast their vote by dropping a gold coin (received at check-in along with drink tickets) into a ballot box of their favorite. The bartender and restaurant with the most votes will take home the coveted title of Top Bartender, plus a trophy, cash prize, a Time Out feature and, of course, bragging rights.
Grab your friends and settle in for an afternoon of standout drinks, good vibes and maybe even the discovery of your next favorite cocktail.
Battle of the Bartenders is a 21+ event. Tickets are $25 and can be purchased here.
