It’s flair bartending season again!  This means exhilarating action at the TGIFridays bar as the  best bartenders fight for the plum prize at the Shake, Rattle, & Pour 2019 Philippines Bartender Championship.

It’s flair bartending season again!  This means exhilarating action at the TGIFridays bar as the  best bartenders fight for the plum prize at the “SHAKE, RATTLE & POUR 2019 PHILIPPINES  BARTENDER CHAMPIONSHIP” happening this Wednesday (August 28) at 4 pm at the restaurant’s Alabang Town Center branch.

Expect bottles tossing, shakers bouncing off elbows, glasses flying in the air and other exceptional bar tricks. The rhythm is intense and the energy, geared to the maximum level. These barkeeps consider bartending an art form and a competitive sport!

Cheers to this year's TGIFRidays Bartender Championship

 Who among the contenders will snatch the King of the Bar title?  Winners in their own right, they all underwent rigorous competitions in their respective branches before they earned the privilege to represent their store at this year’s TGIFRidays’ nationwide competition.  After all, it’s not just about tricks and bar flairs. There’s a lot of hard work involved such as the technical or compulsory stages that tested their mettle in pour accuracy and mastery of recipes among others.

This year’s winner will represent TGIFridays Phils in the Asia-Pacific Bartender Championship to be held in Indonesia in October.  The regional winner will then be pitted against the best of the best around the world at the 2019 TGIF World Bartender Championship in Dallas, Texas.
