Powered By Community + Tech
Throughout the Railz on Rainey campaign, we’ve integrated community engagement through Disgo, a discovery platform helping drive real traffic to participating bars.
During the finals, we’ll be announcing the winner of the Disgo engagement campaign, recognizing the team that successfully activated their audience and brought the most support back to their venue.
Featured Spirits + Cocktail Experience
This tournament is powered by two Texas-based spirit partners, Waterloo Gin and Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery, bringing both competition and guest experience together.
Throughout the night, you’ll get a chance to experience these spirits through the cocktails being prepared in competition, as well as featured serves at the bar.
Waterloo Gin will be showcasing their Prickly Pear and Rose expressions, known for their bright, approachable profiles that lend themselves well to refreshing, fruit-forward cocktails.
Iron Wolf Ranch and Distillery brings their signature Hot Scotch Whiskey, a unique blend that balances butterscotch sweetness with a subtle Texas heat finish, making it one of the most distinctive pours in the lineup.
Whether you’re watching the competition or ordering at the bar, this is your chance to taste how these spirits perform under pressure and in real-time service.

Hosted at Bungalow on Rainey, one of the premier outdoor venues on the street, this event is designed for both competition and celebration.
On-site food will be provided by Jew Burgers, serving:
