Battle of the Bartenders: Sheila v. Jake

Guest Bartending Showdown: Sheila Watko vs. Jake Maroney

Wednesday, August 27, 20256:00 – 9:00 PM

Wicked Wolf | 1214 Chestnut Street | 21+ | No Cover

Philly’s most anticipated behind-the-bar battle is going down at Wicked Wolf.

On Wednesday, August 27th, local personalities Sheila Watko and Jake Maroney are hopping behind—and possibly on top of—the bar at Wicked Wolf Philadelphia to raise money for two amazing causes and compete for the coveted Championship Bartending Belt.

Starting at 6:00 PM, they’ll be serving drinks and bringing the energy — all while raising money for:Hand2Paw (Sheila)Action Wellness (Jake)

Here’s how it works: Every dollar you tip goes directly to their chosen nonprofit — and counts as a vote. By the end of the night, the bartender with the most tips wins the belt and full bragging rights.

This is a free event with no cover charge, but we encourage everyone to come thirsty and tip generously to support these incredible Philly organizations.
