Bartending competition and other bar related info.

Style Weekly has the scoop on a local bartending competition and has released their 2012 Bar Guide. As you would expect there are so many references to Shockoe spots I could spend hours cutting and pasting or you can just hit the link and check it out. I will give you the details on the competition and my favorite line from the Bar Guide.

Shockoe Sling-Off

Starting next month, local drink slingers will show off their skills, ham it up with the crowd and work to prove why they deserve $1,000 in the annual bartending competition held by Cha Cha’s Cantina at 1419 E. Cary St. Weekly showdowns happen Mondays at 9 p.m. — July 9 and July 16, leading to the finals July 23. Competitors can sign up by calling 726-6296.
