Description

Each year, the Sarasota-Manatee Originals bring together the area’s best bartenders, distillers and other bar and spirits professionals for the annual “Set the Bar” Cocktail Competition.

Event Details

Designed to showcase the creative beverage talents behind our locally-owned, independent restaurants, this year’s 3rd annual Set The Bar will highlight 20 accomplished mixologists representing establishments from the northern tip of Anna Maria Island to the southern shores of Venice beach.

The competition will feature innovative concoctions blended with Plymouth Gin, Absolut Elyx Vodka, Smooth Ambler Contradiction Bourbon or Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila.

In addition to exclusive access to the most skilled beverage innovators in Sarasota and Manatee Counties, guests of Set The Bar will enjoy live entertainment, prizes, and delicious dishes presented by fellow Sarasota-Manatee Originals’ member restaurants.

We are proud to partner with The Child Protection Center to host Set the Bar. A portion of event proceeds benefit the CPC, whose mission is the prevention, intervention & treatment of child abuse.

Early Bird Tickets are now sold out, but General Admission Tickets are on sale for $45. Capacity is limited and may sell out prior to the event. If tickets remain, they will be available for purchase at the door for $50.

This event is 21 and up only (no exceptions.) Rain or shine! Complimentary valet parking provided.
