On a foggy June night, the best bars in San Francisco packed into Cold Drinks, where Time Out San Francisco was hosting the 2018 Time Out Bar Awards. Sponsored by William Grant & Sons, the inaugural event honored the best bars in San Francisco and the talented crews responsible for crafting your favorite cocktails.
All night, guests had their choice of a Smoldering Rose—made with Milagro Silver, Montelobos Mezcal, Lillet Rose, Velvet Falernum and grapefruit oil—or the Verde Daiquiri featuring Flor de Caña 7, Ancho Verde and fresh lime. Adorable mini bottles of brut and rosé Segura Viudas also made the rounds throughout the night. Between sipping and chatting, guests noshed on Chinese dumplings, eggrolls and bites courtesy of China Live.
Come award time, all eyes were on presenters, such as Milagro Tequila representative Jaime Salas and Flor de Caña brand ambassador Ashela Richardson, who handed out the night’s awards for Bar of the Year and Best Legacy Bar, respectively. Cheers to all the winners!
Here’s a look at all of the evening’s winners, and some photos from the event below.
