Celebrating the Queen City’s best cocktail makers with an evening of crafted libations

From the people who created the Buffalo Bloody Mary Fest comes the next big event celebrating Buffalo’s growing cocktail scene. The first annual Buffalo Cocktail Classic hosted by Step Out Buffalo will bring together 10-12 local restaurants and bars on Sunday, November 13, 2016 for a friendly competition to see who makes the best craft cocktails in Western New York. Attendees are invited to taste each establishment’s unique craft cocktails and vote on their favorites while enjoying a live DJ and other entertainment as well as food vendors and a cash bar with additional libations. The coveted “Buffalo’s Best Cocktail” award will be up for grabs along with other awards and bragging rights - all voted on by you!

This year’s Buffalo Cocktail Classic will celebrate both classic and creative gin-based cocktails using Tommyrotter Distillery’s award winning gin, and the event will take place at The Foundry Inn & Suites on Elmwood Avenue from 4-7pm. Both general admission and a limited amount of VIP tickets are on sale now at buffalococktailclassic.com. General admission tickets include admission to the event, access to exclusive giveaways, and craft cocktail tastes from each of the handpicked bars and restaurants. VIP tickets include all of the above plus access to the exclusive VIP lounge, VIP entry, a private cash bar, VIP only food buffet, and a chance to win an overnight stay for two at The Foundry Inn & Suites.

Step Out Buffalo’s goal is to promote great businesses in our area and encourage Western New York's continual growth while putting on really fun (and delicious) events. Mark your calendars, group text your friends, and get your tickets now - this is an event you won’t want to miss!
