9th Annual Bartender Wars!

Get ready for one of Rhinebeck’s most anticipated nights of the year! Join the Rhinebeck Area Chamber of Commerce for our 9th Annual Bartender Wars on Thursday, October 8 at Terrapin Restaurant for an evening of friendly competition, creative cocktails, great food, and even better company.

Local bartenders go head-to-head as they compete for bragging rights and the title of Bartender Wars Champion, all while you enjoy a fun night out with friends, business leaders and members of our local community.

Your ticket includes admission plus food, so come hungry and ready to enjoy an evening of delicious bites, drinks and music. And, of course, you’ll have a chance to cheer on your favorite bartender and help decide who takes home the win!

Plus: Your ticket gives back - Every ticket helps support the work of the Rhinebeck Area Chamber of Commerce and our partner non-profits and charities, allowing us to continue advocating for our local businesses and strengthening the business community we all share.

Your support also helps fund the Chamber’s community give-back initiatives throughout the year, including our annual coat and toy drives, school supplies drive, scholarship fund, and other programs that support local families, students, and community organizations.

So grab your friends, colleagues, and favorite local business people and join us for a night that’s fun for a cause!
