Pick Of The Week
PHILBROOK MIX 2025
September 12, 6:30pm at Philbrook, 2727 S. Rockford Rd.
Philbrook's annual MIX event is running 13 years strong now, making it something of a local mixology institution. 9 bartenders duke it out for cocktail dominance in the palatial setting of the museum's leafy gardens. Not into drinking? MIX has an non-alcoholic sponsor this year and it's locally-owned Mood Brü. —Matt Carney
