The Barbary Coast Conservancy of the American Cocktail is proud to announce the dates for the Fourth Annual San Francisco Cocktail Week Celebration:

Monday, September 20 – Monday, September 27, 2010!

Big changes are underway in 2010 with the Barbary Coast Conservancy of the American Cocktail, and San Francisco Cocktail Week. Stay tuned for information about the Liquid Relations Center, a community focused hub for all things beverage related, currently being designed by the BCCAC. ”Hard Hat Happy Hours” will be happening soon, and we’ll be announcing how you can become a supporting member of the Barbary Coast Conservancy of the American Cocktail, so make sure to sign up for our mailing list, if you haven’t already.  

The Barbary Coast Conservancy of the American Cocktail, proud presenter of San Francisco Cocktail Week, was founded in order to preserve the Cultural Heritage of saloons and their cocktails in San Francisco, while also celebrating California’s Culinary Philosophy and Tradition via Special Events, Publications, and Educational Seminars.

A Week In Honor of San Francisco’s Vibrant Cocktail Culture

San Francisco Cocktail Week celebrates the dynamic beverage culture of our community. Here, our many bright bartenders access local farmers, local distilleries and local wineries; here, we devour cocktail lore, we pair with chefs, and we teach each other in order to create delicious cocktails. We strive to remember the past in order to balance the new. In San Francisco, we dare to celebrate both the classic cocktail concoction and the avant-garde potation.

We, the bars and bartenders of San Francisco Cocktail Week, invite you, the thirsty, to enjoy the best of history with the promise of the future; shaken or stirred, up or over, and always in a chilled cocktail glass. Join in the third annual celebration during a week filled with cocktail parties, farmers’ market cocktail demonstrations, one-of-a-kind spirit, bar, and cocktail related classes, and historically inspried, booze laden, literary explorations.

The events of previous years’ Cocktail Week Celebrations have been held in partnership with The Museum of the American Cocktail, The United States Bartender’s Guild, Imbibe Magazine, CUESA, and leading San Francisco and Bay Area restaurants and bars.

An Event Schedule for celebrations leading up to, and including, 2010′s Cocktail Week is currently being planned.
