Speed Rack Season 8 Returns To NYC With Fierce Female Bartenders Battling At The Tri-State Competition

Speed Rack kicks off their eighth U.S. competition season on Sunday, November 18th at Melrose Ballroom in New York City with over 20 of the Tri-State’s best bartenders battling it out. Co-Founded by Lynnette Marrero and Ivy Mix in 2011, Speed Rack has raised over $850,000 with all proceeds donated to breast cancer charities.  The eight fastest females will move on to the Nationals in Chicago next May 2019.

The Tri-State showdown will be hosted at Melrose Ballroom, with doors opening at 4 PM. Tickets are $25 in advance and $30 at the door, and the price includes plenty of punch provided by the event’s sponsors and bites from local eateries.

Pre-purchased tickets are available via EventBrite HERE.
