Battle of the Bars at Oyster Bah

Battle of the Bars is back. On Wednesday, June 21st, the rematch from a year ago is live in Lincoln Park. Christina Smith of Oyster Bah and Steve Tindle of Roka Akor go four rounds in a battle of cocktails in Oyster Bah's Low Tide Lounge. You can expect four courses of seafood-centric food designed by Chef Pete Balodimas, paired with cocktails from the two battling mixologists.

Diners will score each cocktail on taste, originality, and use of the secret ingredient. At the end of the night, a champion will be declared, and will win $1,000 in Oyster Bah gift certificates donated to the charity of their choice: the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society for Roka Akor or Cradles to Crayons for Oyster Bah!
