The people who waited got screenshots and stories about the thing they missed.
On Sunday, August 2, Dirty Rocks is back. Dirty Rocks is Philadelphia's live cocktail competition, and it's one of the best things to do in Old City Philadelphia this summer. Nine bartenders. One winner. A crowd that decides everything.
No judges. No panel. No insiders deciding what's good. Your ticket comes with votes. You taste, you pick your favorite, you cast your votes. Most votes wins, and the whole room watches the winner get crowned live.
Last time we packed a garden and sold it out in four days. This time we take over the Fringe Bar garden on the Delaware River waterfront, under the Ben Franklin Bridge, and make room for more.
The lineup: Roland (Com.Unity), Matt (R&D), Tony (Static), Jess (Trestle Inn), Kari (Philly Craft Ice), Chris (Known Associates), Jackie (Fringe Bar), Kevin (Soufiane at The Morris), Damian (Drams By Damian). Nine working Philadelphia bartenders, one original cocktail each.
Also happening: DJ, ice luge, raffle, and food by Fringe.
A portion of proceeds goes to the KB Foundation, and every Dirty Rocks event hires paid KB mentees, giving young Philadelphians real hospitality experience alongside the pros. You can add a donation at checkout.
Doors 3:00 PM. Fringe Bar, 140 N Christopher Columbus Blvd, Philadelphia, on the Old City waterfront.
Prices rise as the room fills.
