Why You Shouldn't Miss This: This exhibition match is not just about finding the fastest bartenders; it's about bringing the bartending community together to celebrate skill, speed, and camaraderie. Velvet Oak Tavern's commitment to supporting the industry makes it the ideal location for an event that's all about lifting each other up and having a great time while doing it.

SpeedRailz is not just a competition; it's a celebration of speed, skill, and the spirited community of bartending. Founded by John Pittman, known in the industry as @bartender2ceo, SpeedRailz has quickly become a cornerstone of the bartending competition scene. With three successful seasons under our belt, we have crowned the fastest bartenders in Texas and are now setting our sights on discovering the fastest bartender in America.

At SpeedRailz, we push the boundaries of traditional bartending competitions by focusing on speed and mechanical execution rather than just mixology. Our events are high-energy, high-stakes battles that test the limits of bartending prowess. Hosted by OTM Media and Events, a premier marketing, media, and events agency, we ensure every competition is not only a contest but a spectacle, complete with live streams, professional media coverage, and viral marketing campaigns.

Over the next 8-10 months, we will be touring the U.S. and hosting two tournaments each month leading up to Season 4. Each city will showcase either the tradtiional or modified competition formats to keep both competitors and spectators on their toes. For instance, our Houston exhibition on July 10th will feature 8 teams of three bartenders each in sudden death matches, culminating in a thrilling final where at first the competiting team faces off and then they choose one representative to face off - the times are then averaged between the team and individual for us to find out who the fastest is overall.

Competitors have the chance to win a $500 cash prize at each event, proving themselves against some of the best talents across the country.
