Better Bar Show – To inspire and develop Polish bar scene.

The Better Bar Show isn’t named this because it is „better” than other bar shows. It is a manifesto saying that the show aims to make the Polish bar scene better by improving everything, from actual bar builds, back bars, business, concept and theory, and of course improvement for bartenders themselves – in terms of the physical and the mind.

Idea

‘BETTER BAR SHOW’ is a cyclical (10th edition) bar & beverage trade show with a mission to popularize practical knowledge related to the art of bartending, as well as inspiring development of the Polish bar industry. ‘BETTER BAR SHOW’ is also a conference filled with thematic lectures, tasting panels and accompanying events promoting cocktail culture.

The event is addressed to enthusiasts of bartending, from barbacks, through bartenders and bar managers, to bar owners.

For 2 consecutive days (August 22-23), Stary Maneż will be filled with seminars, workshops and tastings taking on current trends on the global and Polish bar scene, providing professional knowledge and inspiration. As every year, our exhibitors will present many interesting products including new releases from the spirits world.

Each of the convention days will be accompanied with several events promoting art of bartending and cocktail culture.

18+ event.
