Special guests include 102.1's Kramp and Adler.

The event is free and features drink specials like $3 shots and small cocktails featuring sponsored brands, $3 Pabst Tall Boys and $5 regular-sized cocktails made with sponsored brands.

Here's a quick Q & A with bartender Brian Zbichorski of The Hotel Foster and Boone & Crockett.

OnMilwaukee.com: How long have you been tending bar?

Brian Zbichorski: Five years.

OMC: If you could only pick one bar to hang out at (outside of work) where would it be and why?

BZ: Burnhearts. Low-key, amazing selection of beers and craft cocktails. Best of all, the bartenders.

OMC: What's your favorite brunch spot right now?

BZ: The Noble. Always a different selection of dishes. Small and great food.

OMC: What's the craziest thing you've ever witnessed in your bar?

BZ: A dance party that turned into everyone getting naked in their underwear. Lots of love happened that night. Oh, also the cops showed up (nothing happened).

OMC: If you could open up a bar in Milwaukee tomorrow what type of bar would it be?

BZ: A craft cocktail bar in Walker's Point that also serves a small selection of food. Specials every day, locally sourced. The bar would be pretty hidden with no signs but serve the highest quality goods.

OMC: Who are some of your favorite bartenders to visit in Milwaukee?

BZ: Of course, my co-workers, but other than that, Katie Rose at Burnhearts. All the folks at Hinterland. Bob Purvis and Aja at Blackbird. Ardy at Comet.
