About

Bartender’s Weekend is an Industry-Only networking event aimed at promoting the “Spirit of Hospitality” embodied throughout the profession of Bartending.

Orchestrated by industry veterans Chris Patino and Erick Castro of Industry Liters LLC, this trade-focused, San Diego event brings the community together each year. By building a platform that focuses on community, the ultimate goal of Bartender’s Weekend is to bring all aspects of the industry together and place them on an equal footing that encourages bars, brands and bartenders to interact in a positive and professional manner.

The events that make up Bartender’s Weekend intentionally take place on a Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday to reflect the typical days off — the “Weekend” — observed by most members of the service industry. Each day of the event puts the focus on a different area within America’s Finest City, ranging from Downtown to North Park and the Beach communities.

Giving back to the industry is core to Bartender’s Weekend. Proceeds support Another Round, Another Rally, helping fund the training and development of future generations of bartenders and service industry professionals.
