USBG Dallas and Parterre are teaming up to bring you a one-of-a-kind networking event to kickstart inter-hospitality collaboration in 2026!🍸✨

Join us for light bites and espresso on Tuesday evening, January 13th in Downtown Dallas to mix, mingle, and finally put names to faces while expanding your professional network!

While all hospitality professionals are encouraged to attend, the goal is to connect bartenders and decision makers with distributors and brands to create lasting partnerships and update one’s Rolodex of professional contacts.

You do not have to be a member of the Dallas USBG to attend, but it’s highly encouraged - following the event, all contacts collected through the Guild will be fashioned into a reference resource for ACTIVE MEMBERS ONLY. If you’re not an active member, the networking contacts you collect are solely up to you!👀

Here in Dallas, everyone runs in similar circles, but oftentimes we’re one person removed. We look forward to the opportunity of closing those gaps and strengthening our community. Break out a fresh box of business cards and share this far and wide - we hope to see you there!👋🏼

RSVP linked in bio and on our story!🖇️

Note: Given its nature, this is not a sponsored event. Individual spends on your portfolio’s products are encouraged in support of the bar!
