L.A.’s Best Bartenders Will Be Mixing Drinks All in One Place This Sunday

What could be better than L.A.’s top bartenders all mixing cocktails in one place amidst a backdrop of art, culture and live entertainment?

Truthfully? Not much.

That said, Art Beyond The Glass returns this Sunday for its fourth annual event showcasing the best mixologists in the city while raising money for one of our most treasured public radio stations, KCRW.
