DTLA: Get Ready for the Espolon Cocktail Fights on Monday, April 6 between Los Angeles and San Diego Bartenders
Fight fight fight! Dan from A-Frame vs Chris from Harlowe.
The Espolon Cocktail Fights are back! Last year LA bartenders battled it out at Villains Tavern and this year, LA will also host San Diego bartenders at the Lash on Monday, April 6. It’s LA vs SD with a few Orange County bartenders as well.
Check out one of my videos from last year.
Nick from Soigne Group aka The Hamburglar
The competition was one of the more fun competitions I’ve seen. Plenty of bartenders came in costume or had a theme to their fight.
wait, doesn’t the Hamburglar steal burgers?
I thought it was pretty amazing the Hamburglar showed up and handed out Mickey D’s to the judges.
use your cockcash for swag
It’s a bracket style competition. And those watching get in on the fun by “betting” their cock dollars (fake money) on their favorite bartenders each round. You can use your cockcash later to buy swag. I bought a couple of shakers that night. Also available were t-shirts, belt bucklets, posters and more.
It got weird
As you can imagine with everyone showing off their creativity and personality, it got a little weird. Don’t worry, Liz didn’t actually take off her clothes…
Okay, just a little weird
But maybe someone else did. Cory had a Brokeback Mountain theme…
Everyone loves Espolon
By the end of the night, everyone loved Espolon tequila.

Last year’s final two came down to Liz and Mary. Mary as Professor Snape took home the win.
