Highlight Bartending Competition 2018 Awarding Nite

Pioneered by The Bar Times Media Online, Highlight Bartending Competition 2018 is the first competition in Indonesia to combine offline and online voting. This competition is a promise realized by The Bar Times to its readers as a one-stop digital magazine for all news related to bars and restaurants.

This competition aims to find the first artist/celebrity bartender. Other goals include shedding more positive details of bartending as a profession, where a bartender is actually a talented artist behind the bar with creativity to make special ingredients and lure visitors to visit a venue – this occupation is often negatively associated with drunks and alcoholic beverages. We hope to hold a similar event in the future to crown more artists/celebrity bartenders not only in Bali but throughout Indonesia.

Netizens and public had to reviewed and judged the contestants’ performance by liking, sharing videos and commenting on each video that uploaded on 22^th April 2018 by The Bar Times three social media platforms – Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. The Voting is closed on 10^th May 2018 and the winners are announced on 14^th May 2018 at WET Ultra Lounge Legian.
