Pour for a Cause - Ballyhoo

Listen up, y’all.

This Wednesday 8/19, I will be participating as a guest bartender at Ballyhoo for their Pour for a Cause program. I make a cocktail, you buy it, and Tim and Morgan graciously donate $1 from each cocktail sold to a charity of my choice. It’ll run for about 2 months, but I would like to see all of you there post-6pm to imbibe.

My charity of choice will be The Scotty Fund (scottyfund.org), a foundation in the name of my good friend, Grant Anderson’s, little brother.

Let’s jam.

I’ve been meaning to check that place out…

Why wouldn’t they let one of their real bartenders make the drink and just donate?

Their drinks and food is always on point so just a strange experience IMO.

The whole idea is to have a barkeep from another restaurant (Toutant in my case) come in and maybe draw some traffic that wouldn’t normally be there. We all guest other places for shits and giggles now and again, but this makes it a little more meaningful.

I just think that he was calling you a fake bar tender. You poser.

We did a similar thing with my place, ABW, in which we sent a bartender up to Ballyhoo, good times. It’s great that there is so much collaboration in Buffalo, everybody wins.

For your event, is it cocktails only, or beer as well?

Well Pour for a Cause is directed at the cocktail I create for it, so only $1 from sales made of that exact cocktail go to the donation.

I think he did. Fight, fight, fight!

Ah ok. Now it makes sense. I thought you were some random person they were letting bar tend and was like, wtf is the point? Vodka and orange juices for all!

you will not be disappointed. one of my favorite bars in buffalo. plus you can ride the train!!!
