Bottom Of The Barrel Bartending Competition: Summer Splash

We are back scraping the bottom of the barrel looking for New Haven's worst bartender. This time it's the Summer Splash edition, and we are getting wet and wild. 

This competition will feature:

-a belly flop contest 

-a Malort Slip & Slide 

-an all-out water gun battle 

And many more shenanigans! At the end we will be crowning New Haven's worst bartender with the commemorative belt. 

Admission is free for all patrons. If you would like to compete, send a DM to the Cafe Nine Instagram page and claim your spot. You do not have to be a bartender or in the service industry to compete! 

See you at the Bottom Of The Barrel!
