Need a summer break but don’t have the time or money to take a big trip? Pack your bags and grab your passports because you take a globetrotting adventure without leaving the city! Embark on the second annual Around the World Bar Crawl at The Banks – a whirlwind tour this Saturday, Aug. 2.

Each participating bar and restaurant will transform into a different country, complete with themed cocktails and decor.

“Killer Queen will transport guests to the tropical oasis of Fiji, while The Stretch will be throwing a fiesta in Mexico,” says Saijal Andreadis Ryan, marketing director with 4 Entertainment Group, LLC. “Fan favorites like Moerlein Lager House as Germany and Red Leprechaun as Ireland are back.”

As for the the others? That’s why you’ll need to explore on your own!

Participants can join as a team of two or fly solo! Travelers will go from bar to bar, tasting international cocktails and taking on minute-to-win-it games at each stop. Get your passport stamped at each location to enter to win grand prizes -–the more stamps, the more chances to win one of many incredible prizes.

Check-in begins at 11 a.m. at The Stretch. The bar crawl takes off at noon, and challenges conclude at 5 p.m., followed by a post-competition party at The Park.

“We're adding fresh ideas across the board!” says Andreadis Ryan. “Guests can expect new countries, different activities, a wider variety of drink offerings including specialty cocktails, beer, and wine, and more flexible ticket options. Whether you're traveling with a buddy or flying solo, there's something for everyone!”

There are two ticketing tiers – $50 includes five world-class cocktails at any participating venue, swag, entry to raffle prizes, and more. The $75-tier includes 11 world-class cocktails at all participating venues, swag, entry to raffle prizes, and more.

Proceeds from the event benefit the University of Cincinnati and UC Health's Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson's.

“The Around the World Bar Crawl is a unique event at The Banks,” says Andreadis Ryan. “Bars and restaurants transform into different countries to create a truly one-of-a-kind bar crawl, and to top it off, it supports a great cause! Last year, The Banks was proud to donate $2,500 to Sunflower Rev It Up for Parkinson’s.”
