2018 Battle of the Bars Results

A fun day was had last Sunday at the 25th Annual Schooner Wharf Battle of the Bars. Bars and restaurants competed in teams while raising money for local charities. The Battle raised $12,885 this year for the Southernmost Boys and Girls Club and the Sister Season Fund. The overall total is now $351,839 raised by this high-spirited charity event.

Dan Dombroski, Executive Director of the Boys and Girls Club, said, “The Battle of the Bars by far is our favorite fundraiser. To witness so many people having fun and donating to the non-profits is humbling. This year for us was extra special, since we were a part of the event’s 25 year anniversary. This event has put its fingerprints on the lives of many people in this community.”

Added Julie Hanson, President of Sister Season Fund, “We are so excited about being a part of Battle of the Bars this year. All of the proceeds raised for our organization will be put right back into our Key West community, for residents working in the hospitality industry.”

Twenty-two teams from Keys bars and restaurants were pumped up to win and waged a fierce competition. Excitement was high as the 7-person teams poured and served a margarita, ran the obstacle course, recycled bottles, rolled and tapped a keg, and drank beer.

Bourbon St. Pub’s “Bourbon Boozers” took home the championship title for the third year in a row with a final round time of 2 minutes, 2 seconds, besting last year’s time. Team “Green Machine” from The Green Room competed for the first time and captured second place. Third place went to Mary Ellen’s “Miss Mary Ellens”.

For the fourth year in a row, The Deepest Pockets award (the team that contributes the most money) went to Salute! On the Beach’s “Beach Bums: SHARK ATTACK!!”. Dante’s “Dante’s Corrupt Care Bears” was awarded second place, Danger Charters’ “Stranger Danger” took third place, and Hogfish Bar and Grill’s “Stock Rock Hogs” took fourth.

The coveted Most Outrageous Team Costume again went to Sebago Watersports with their “Southernmost Frank’s Magic 21” (multiple costume changes), second place went to 801 Bourbon Bar’s “801 Hillbillies”, and third place went to The Stoned Crab’s “Shiver Me Quiver”. Seven Honorable Mentions for Costume were awarded to Charlie Mac’s “Notorious P.I.G.”, Dante’s “Dante’s Corrupt Care Bears”, The Green Room’s “Green Machine”, Square Grouper’s “Best Buds”, The Stoned Crab’s “Shiver Me Quiver”, Mary Ellen’s “Miss Mary Ellens”, Salute! on the Beach’s “Beach Bums: SHARK ATTACK!!”, and Schooner Wharf’s “Schoonervana”.
