Stamford’s Best Bartender Contest Brings the Summer Spirit

The Stamford magazine Best Bartender contest is a summer highlight, with a festive crowd casting votes for the area’s best cocktails and cuisine. This year, we celebrated our 13th annual event on a picture-perfect July day at Harbor Point. Local businesses competed for awards in three categories picked by a panel of judges, along with another set of honors for people’s choice selections. Guests at the sold-out affair gathered with friends and family to enjoy waterside views, gourmet bites, great tunes and cool libations.
