Join OnMilwaukee’s sixth annual Bartender Games (formerly the Bartender Olympics) at Turner Hall Ballroom on Thursday, Feb. 27, at 7 p.m. Emceed by FM 102.1’s Jon Adler, the new and improved Bartender Games will see the return of past participants who will battle it out against new competitors.

The games include a signature cocktail contest and tasting where the winner will be chosen by you, plus the popular Pabst can stack, a talent competition and the always decisive karaoke competition. 

Also, enjoy sampling new Red Bull flavors and, for one night only, vaping/e-cigarettes will be allowed. Try a sample in the Johnson Creek Smoke Juice lounge.

The Rookies team will go for the gold, with Jason Burczyk from Boone & Crockett, Roland Flasch of Rumor Upbeat Lounge, Katie Kay of Black Sheep, The Tin Widow and Bad Genie Rock Lounge and Dano Schultz from Silk Exotic.

OnMilwaukee.com: What’s the craziest thing you’ve witnessed in your bar?
