Chatt Cup 2026

Chatt Cup is a one-night cocktail competition where Chattanooga’s top bartenders go head-to-head, live and in front of an audience.

Participating local bars each send a bartender to build and present an original cocktail in real time using a featured spirit. Guests will taste cocktails from each competing bar, follow along as the drinks are built, and vote for the People’s Choice winner, alongside a panel of judges who award Judges’ Choice.

Expect inventive cocktails judged on flavor, balance, execution, and presentation — from the prep to the shake to the final pour. This is a true competition, designed for people who care about how drinks are made, not just how fast they’re served.
