“At Renaissance Hotels, we’re always looking for new ways to surprise and delight our guests and ambassadors,” says Eve Dean, Senior Global Director of Renaissance Hotels. “Through the #BarBrag Cocktail Challenge we have a new opportunity to provide jobseekers and aspiring bartenders with a chance to brag about their creative cocktails.”
#BarBrag is held almost entirely on our social media channels. Participants show off their bartending skills by uploading videos via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or directly to the contest’s platform. The contest runs for 3 weeks and will conclude on Sunday, January 25th. At the end of the digital competition, three (3) finalists will be whisked away to Washington, DC to compete in the live Mix-off event on Friday, February 13th at our Headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. The winning cocktail from the #BarBrag Mixoff will be featured on Renaissance Bar menus throughout the Americas. We encourage bartenders and aspiring bartenders to get creative and brag a little.
