Scandic Bar sponsors the International Bar Lady Competition 2026

Scandic Bar is proud to be confirmed as the official barware partner of the 2026 International Bar Lady Competition. The event celebrates women bartenders shaping the future of hospitality, and we're providing tools, glassware and prize kits for every finalist on the global stage.

Our involvement runs across the full competition cycle: regional heats, the European semi-finals and the international final. Every competitor at the final receives a Scandic Bar toolkit, and the top three take home a full Nordic mixing glass, Fjord shaker and a hand-blown coupe set produced by our partner Bohemian glasshouse.

We've been quietly supporting women-led bartender initiatives across the Nordics for years — guest shifts, mentorship dinners, scholarship spots on bar-school programmes. The International Bar Lady Competition is the largest and most visible of those commitments, and it's a logical next step in our long-standing community work.

If you're competing in a regional heat in 2026 and need barware support, write to info@scandicbar.com with your event details — we'll do what we can to back you. #FromBartendersToBartenders.
