The title of best bartender in Brenham was up for grabs Saturday at the second installment of the “Battle of the Bartenders” competition, hosted by Las Americas Latin Cuisine.
Crowds made their way over to South St. Charles Street and Commerce Street, where seven teams attempted to make the best Bloody Marys, margaritas, and a cocktail of their choice.
The overall winner of the competition was Bobby Stewart with The Kenney Store. Stewart won the grand prize of $500 and a grand champion wrestling belt. Stewart also won $250 for best margarita.
