Bartender of the Year
Do you have what it takes to be the 2026 Australian Bartender of the Year ?


Great cocktails don’t just happen — they’re crafted with skill, creativity, and a deep understanding of the craft. Behind every memorable drink is a bartender who brings personality, precision, and passion to the bar.
If you have what it takes then join us for the 2026 Bartender of the Year competition presented by Spirits Academy on Tuesday 15 September 2026.
