The last 15 months have been devastating for the bar community
with restaurant & bar closures and lockdowns taking place
globally due to the pandemic. Everyone, no matter their city or
country, has been negatively affected by it. Corby Spirit and Wine
and Bartender Atlas wanted to create a virtual event to bring
bartenders from across the world together, hiring them to do what
they do best: making creative cocktails and engaging with the
people. While we may not be allowed to visit these bartenders at
their bars right now, this is a chance to bring that experience
home to everyone.
24 Hour Bar features 24 bartenders from 12 countries, 11 time
zones and 6 continents.
Below is the 24 Hour Bar schedule including all of the
participating bartenders and their home cities. During the live
stream, viewers can send drink requests, ask what to make with the
spirits they have at home, or anything else that comes to mind.
It's going to be fun!
