Giving Kitchen Bartender's Challenge & Grill Out

Join Fado Pub & Kitchen Dublin for an exciting night of incredible sips and delicious bites! Local bartenders will compete live in multiple rounds to prepare libations that delight and impress, each providing tastings for you and a panel of judges. While the judges will award their own prize, you'll vote for the Crowd Favorite award. Some of the Columbus area's best chefs will also come together to offer satisfying samplings as part of a Grill Out. And you'll be able to buy raffle tickets to win a pint a day for one full year at Fado* and much more!


Proceeds from your ticket will go to support Giving Kitchen, a James Beard Award-winning nonprofit organization that offers vital support to food service workers encountering a crisis. Our financial assistance program helps cover basic living expenses during times of crisis, such as housing (rent or mortgage) and utilities (power, water, and gas) for:

- The bartender who broke their arm
- The cafeteria worker who experienced a house fire
- The fry cook who was out sick for a month
- The chef who lost their spouse to cancer

Since 2013, Giving Kitchen has served over 29,000 individuals across America's food service industry and awarded more than $15 million in financial assistance to food and beverage service workers across the nation through our multilingual call center.
