Bartender’s Handshake will offer to-go versions of the week’s featured cocktail – just place your order on their website and pick it up the day of the event.

After mixology, grab your friends and join us for a fun and challenging round of holiday music-themed trivia hosted by trivia mastermind Marnie Strate! Your teammates can join you in person or on Zoom – we’ll sort you into breakout rooms by teams. This event is virtual, which means you can recruit your trivia-loving friends and family to join us from anywhere in the world! Gather your brainiest bunch of friends and fight it out for first place. 

The game will consist of several rounds of trivia centered around holiday music. The winning team will take home a variety of prizes, including free streaming passes to the Des Moines Symphony for each team member!
