As if the Taste of Abbot Kinney festival wasn’t reason enough to drop by Venice this weekend, Joe’s restaurant is hosting the first annual Raising the Bar Mixology Competition on Sunday from 6 to 9 p.m. Bartenders from Boa on Sunset, Church & State, Comme Ça, and Joe’s will be mixing three rounds of drinks—a classic cocktail, a theme cocktail (the theme spirit is rum), and a “freestyle” cocktail—to be judged by the restaurant owners and local critic-types. You’re invited to sample the creations yourself for $10 each during the event, as well as a special bar menu. Admission is free.
Cheers.
