Repeal Day Conference – Tampa Florida
Bartender Journey Podcast # 140
This week we take the show on the road! We visit the United States Bartender Guild – Tampa Chapter. This was the Tampa USBG’s second educational conference, which is paired with their Repeal Day Party Gala.

Repeal Day is the celebration of the end of Prohibition on December 5, 1933. An anniversary worthy of an epic Party!
The educational conference in Tampa was amazing, informative and fun. The Repeal Day Gala on Saturday December 5, (2015) was incredible! With four floors of craft cocktails, wonderful food and exciting entertainment, it is an event to look forward to all year!
The conference is aimed at bartenders and enthusiasts who are looking to learn, improve, network and move to the next level.
The Repeal Day Gala is open to anyone looking for a great time! Proceeds benefit the USBG Tampa chapter and various charities including Because Of Ezra, which helps kids with neuroblastoma cancer.
