Race for Glory

October 20, 2026 8:00 pm

1186 Queen St W, Toronto

8pm-1am

Forget polite sipping and applause. This is raw speed, dead-on precision, and pure chaos behind the bar — with a real trophy and major bragging rights on the line.

Since July, heats have been running across the city to weed out the weak. We started with Toronto’s top talent, and now just four bartenders remain. They will go head-to-head in the semi-finals and finals on October 20 to prove who actually owns the city’s fastest hands and sharpest instincts under pressure.

Drink for a cause

Every round, the competition cocktails made on stage will be auctioned off live to the crowd, with proceeds going directly to SickKids Foundation. Come thirsty, bid high on one-of-a-kind drinks, and support a great cause while watching Toronto’s best hustle for the title.

The speed rail

Competitors have to build on the fly using a high-stakes lineup: Dillon’s, Flor de Caña, Bearface, Tequila Tromba, and Campari.

This isn’t a sit-down affair—expect a packed room, high energy and serious noise. Get your ticket now and come see who takes home the prize. 

Partial ticket proceeds for this event will benefit SickKids Foundation.
