Bartender Atlas Your favourite bartenders in one place. We believe in creating a community of bartenders for bartend What is Bartender Atlas? We believe in community.

How many social media posts that start with “I’m going to (insert city on other side of the globe here), where do I go to eat/drink/get a cocktail/find cool things around the city?” have you seen? Bartender Atlas filters out the noise for you. We all know that a good bartender is better than any online review or tourist guide. By looking at our website, you already know someone in the city you are

visiting. While you are sitting across from them ask what else you should be doing in that town, or where they would be if they weren’t working (but please don’t be a creep). These people have shared this information, in their own words. A community of people make this wacky world a stronger place The community of bartenders is a strong one. Bartenders are generally chatty folk with a little bit of knowledge about a lot of things, especially in their hometowns. Go visit them, you can find them here. If you are are a bartender who would like to be on the site, please fill out the form: http://bartenderatlas.com/join

Hey Canada and USA THE HOUSE OF ANGOSTURA GLOBAL COCKTAIL CHALLENGE is happening now!

Angostura is on the lookout for a new global brand ambassador through their upcoming cocktail competition! The theme for this year's challenge is... A journey through time... a celebration of 200 years of Angostura, bartending and classic cocktails. This competition is a SWIZZLE challenge - they are looking for your twist on this classic cocktail using any Angostura premium rum and/or bitters.

This competition isn't just about your take on a Swizzle. Angostura is looking for someone who has a deep understanding of cocktails, and the broader categories of bitters, rum, and amaro. Equally important are your communication skills, your ability to get along with others and your awareness of the latest trends in spirits and bartending. We think that this is an incredible opportunity for those who are interested.

This competition is open to anyone living anywhere in Canada and the USA. Angostura will be hosting three regional competitions in early 2025: one in Toronto, one in New York and one in San Francisco.

Three Canadian finalists will be chosen to compete in Toronto, three East Coast USA bartenders will be chosen to compete in New York and three West Coast USA bartenders will be chosen to compete in San Francisco. One winner from each of these regionals will then head to Trinidad to compete at the Global finals.

Travel and hotel costs will be covered by Angostura should you live outside of Toronto, New York or San Francisco and be chosen to compete.

You can find out more information about this challenge here: https://angosturaglobalcocktailchallenge.com/

The deadline to enter is December 22nd, 2024. We cannot wait to see who will be traveling to Trinidad to compete in the global finals!
