The only things a bartender usually gets to throw down are a few drinks during and after their shifts. But on July 31, playful banter was put aside, headgear was donned, and mixologists from across the city duked it out in the Bartenders Brawl at Martini Corner.

The event, which originated in St. Louis in 2010, pits amateur pugilists (of both sexes) and mixed martial artists from the service industry against one another. Add in a few ring girls, and this year the Bartenders Brawl will be in four cities, including Charlotte, North Carolina, and Chicago.
