A new series for la creme de la creme, Boston bartenders. Putting their cocktailing and improvisational skills to the test, then deciding who shakes, mixes, and stirs the best!

How it works:

The first Wednesday or Thursday of each month, two bartenders from different high profille bars & restaurants will take part; this month: reigning champ Stephen Shellenberger of Pomodoro will go up against "challenger" Jen Harvey of 33 Restaurant & Lounge.  Each month a different liquor brand will be featured; this month: Kahlua.

First, each bartender will have the opportunity to create and serve a “signature cocktail” using the featured liquor. Meanwhile everyone votes on ingredients the bartenders will have to incorporate into a new drink on the spot (a la “iron chef”). They’ll have 20 minutes to conceptualize and perfect the drink, after which everyone will taste, vote on their favorite, and the winner will go on to battle a new challenger the following month.

We like a good competition here, and so hope you'll come to cheer on your favorites and witness all the hard work and creativity that goes into a truly great cocktail. Let the games begin!

 The charming and entertaining Chris Rose of Pernod Ricard will host.

And our friendly grocer next door, Hannaford's, has graciously offered to provide all the ingredients potentially needed.

Snacks will be served.

The last two Bar Wars events were a HIT, a total blast! Hope you can make it to this one!
