Sydney Bar Week. That wonderful time of year when the cream of our glorious industry converge in our country’s only significant city to celebrate our finest sons & daughters for their contribution to the year been. But often as we are wowed buy the technical grace and encyclopedic prowess of some we forget the true warriors of this fair trade. The characters, jokers and raconteurs who don’t just make up the numbers but bring us the colour & music needed to fill our bustling drinking halls with life.

Here it is people, it’s time for Round 2 of the Australian Bartender Most Influential List — here comes the all-important Top 50!
So we may be nursing sore heads from a great awards dinner — and a very large Juniperlooza party afterwards — but here is a full list of the winners from last night. Both the excellent Brooklyn cocktail bar, Clover Club and New York’s the Dead Rabbit featured prominently among the winners, which were drawn more heavily from the US this year (as opposed to last year’s English invasion).
We hope you’ve been getting your study on for the Bartender Magazine Bartender of the Year sponsored by ABSOLUT ELYX and Havana Club, because this year’s prize for first place will be one to remember.
