Yesterday, Bärenjäger hosted a bartending competition at Macao Trading Co. At stake? A trip to Oktoberfest, and the glory of being crowned NYC's greatest bartender (for the moment, anyway.)-

Prior to the contest, the judges, which included Allen Katz of Southern Wine & Spirits, Gary Regan of Ardenspirits.com, Dushan Zaric of Employees Only, Tad Carducci of Tippling Brothers and Phil Ward of Death & Co, scored submissions and whittled it down to a final 6 competitors.

These six competitiors all gathered last night to wow the judges and crowd with their cocktails. The "Crowd Favorite" won $1,000, but the judges picked the gentleman in the lederhosen as their Grand Prize Winner. See what they say about dressing the part?
