SpeedRailz: Railz on Rainey Finals – Tournament Championship Party

It all comes down to this.

After weeks of media showcases, team onboarding, and a full city-wide push, the top bar teams in Austin are stepping into the final round to compete for the Railz on Rainey Championship.

This is not just another industry event. This is a full-scale tournament night where speed, precision, and teamwork are put to the test in front of a live crowd.

Expect high energy, real competition, and a packed house as we crown the fastest bar team in Austin.

• Head-to-head SpeedRailz tournament rounds
• Live crowd energy and competitive matchups
• DJ on-site throughout the night
• Announcement of the Disgo-powered community contest winner
• Bartenders, operators, and industry professionals from across the city
• Food available on-site from JewBurgers serving burgers, fries, and late-night bites

This is where the competition meets the party.

Teams of two bartenders will go head-to-head in a speed-based format where execution is everything.

Each round is a sprint:

• Measured pours only
• Clean builds
• Fast transitions between teammates
• Judged on speed, accuracy, teamwork, and overall performance

No guesswork. No wasted movement. Just performance under pressure.

One team will walk away with the title.

Throughout the Railz on Rainey campaign, we’ve integrated community engagement through Disgo, a discovery platform helping drive real traffic to participating bars.

During the finals, we’ll be announcing the winner of the Disgo engagement campaign, recognizing the team that successfully activated their audience and brought the most support back to their venue.

This tournament is powered by two Texas-based spirit partners, Waterloo Gin and Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery, bringing both competition and guest experience together.

Throughout the night, you’ll get a chance to experience these spirits through the cocktails being prepared in competition, as well as featured serves at the bar.

Waterloo Gin will be showcasing their Prickly Pear and Rose expressions, known for their bright, approachable profiles that lend themselves well to refreshing, fruit-forward cocktails.

Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery brings their signature Hot Scotch Whiskey, a unique blend that balances butterscotch sweetness with a subtle Texas heat finish, making it one of the most distinctive pours in the lineup.

Whether you’re watching the competition or ordering at the bar, this is your chance to taste how these spirits perform under pressure and in real-time service.

Hosted at Bungalow on Rainey, one of the premier outdoor venues on the street, this event is designed for both competition and celebration.

On-site food will be provided by Jew Burgers, serving:

• Smash burgers
• Fries
• Late-night comfort bites

Come early, grab food, and settle in for the tournament.
