Your Plans For Sunday: Speed Rack SF

Victoria — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 19:59:44 +0000

What could be better on a Sunday afternoon, after NFL playoffs are over, than watching sixteen of SF’s best females duke it out to see who has the fastest hands in town? Absolutely nothing. Together with Ananas Consulting, LUPEC SF, and Rye On The Road, Speed Rack is rolling into the Brick and Mortar Music Hall on Sunday, January 8th at 3pm. A national tour, Speed Rack is traveling through ten US cities to find the fastest female bartender in the land and to raise $75,000 for breast cancer research and awareness.

Here’s how it works: sixteen top female bartenders (we’re talking ladies from Rye, Hotsy Totsy Room, and Bourbon and Branch) compete head to head in timed trials. If you watch the video on Speed Rack’s website, you’ll see there’s a whole lot of show-womanship and bragging going on. A panel of judges will then score each competitor on both speed and accuracy. The lady left standing at the end of the day gets $500 to compete in the national finals in New York City.

While this pandemonium goes on, you get to sip on complementary punches, cocktails, beer, and food from Beretta. Hop on over to Eventbrite to grab your tickets. We highly recommend the ‘special admission’ option with a Speed Rack t-shirt and coozie. See you there!
