Let The 10th Annual Denver Bar Wars Begin!

It’s wet, hot summer, and what better way to get the juices flowing than with the 10th Annual Denver Bar Wars!

Starting right now, all you lovely liquor connoisseurs can get registered to vote online for your favorite LGBTQ bars and bartenders in the Denver area. The cocktail competition will take place at X Bar, the reigning supreme from 2019, on July 17 from 12 p.m to 3 p.m.

The four round event will put the regions finest queer mixologists to the test, rating their style, flair, and flavor. While the competition is INDEED all fun and games, it will also be benefitting our friends and neighbors living with HIV. Funds raised by the event will go towards the Colorado Health Network, a foundation dedicated to treating, educating, and providing for individuals at risk of or living with HIV since 1983.

This year, Colorado Health Network is working in collaboration with the Food Bank and Access Point, a safe syringe distribution program that helps hundreds of people every month with basic health needs.

Voting for your favorite bartenders RIGHT NOW will ensure that they will be proudly representing their bar on the competition day. Voting cards will also be available at all the participating bars leading up to the event. Cards are sold for $1, $5, and $10, and $1 will equal one vote. Competing bars are pictured below!

You can also use code “EARLYBIRD” online to get discounted ticket prices for the event before the go up at the door.
