It's our third annual Old Fashioned Crawl in beautiful, historic, Downtown Port Washington! Enjoy creative Wisconsin-style old fashioneds from five downtown locations, and vote for "Best in Show", "Most Creative Spirit", & "Well Fashioned Crumb"

NEW RECIPES! Everyone will be featuring brand new takes on their creative cocktails! Our winners from last year: Steerage & Cavelier, get to repeat their winning recipes if they'd like - but we'll see what they have in store for us!

Your ticket includes a small bite (a taste of a featured menu item, or something to compliment your drink) and one 10oz Old Fashioned at each location.

Each creation features the Wisconsin made Berens Brandy (90 proof!), a mixer of some kind, and incorporates some take on cherries, oranges, and bitters. Beyond that, each location is free to create something unique and special in whatever vein they'd like. Make sure to follow the event on Facebook (hosted by all our locations) to see sneak peeks of the chosen recipes, snacks, and anything else fun we have planned!
