Do you like bourbon, charity, and celebrities? Down One Bourbon Bar [4] is starting 2014 with a bang by hosting a series of Charity Bartending Challenges. On Wednesday, January 15 from 7-9 p.m. Damaris Phillips [5], national Food Network star and local celebrity chef, will square off against Ryan Rogers of Feast BBQ [6] in an attempt to rack up the most tips for Star Duck Charities [7]. If you have ever wanted Damaris Phillips to make you a bourbon cocktail, now is your chance. No word yet as to whether Ryan Rogers is going to bring his slush machine and make bourbon slushies.
Future competitions will be held January 22 and January 29, benefiting Kosair Children’s Hospital and the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, respectively. A portion of sales proceeds will be donated to the charities featured at all three events. Music will be provided by DJ Tank.
