Why Enter

Bartender Spirits Awards gives you the opportunity to grow your brand presence in bars, hotels, and restaurants.

Bartender Spirits Awards Aims To Deliver The Best Spirits For On-Premise Sector In USA. Using the tagline “Judged By Bartenders, Bar Managers and Buyers For The On-Premise Industry,” the Bartender Spirits Awards will recognize, encourage, promote and celebrate excellence in the U.S. drinks industry. 

Raise the profile of your spirits

Winning a Bartender Spirits Award is a mark of excellence that is recognized across the bar industry. If you are a distillery or a brand owner looking to grow your distribution in the United States, this is the perfect chance to win recognition for your spirits within the on-premise channels of the U.S. marketplace. 

Get in front of a hard-to-reach audience

Most spirits competitions are judged by distillers, writers, and consultants and thus, they tend to focus on factors that might not necessarily be important to on-premise buyers, many of whom are looking to address gaps in their overall bar inventory. The Bartender Spirits Awards judges include top bartenders, bar managers, and buyers and this provides an opportunity to reach a large group of these influential trade professionals.
