Beyond the Bar® is the physical and creative space for Tales of the Cocktail Foundation’s global community to explore themes beyond traditional spirits education.
Created in 2018, Beyond the Bar provides a platform to address challenges and opportunities within the global drinks industry, including; mental and physical health, intersectionality, substance use, sexual harassment, diversity, equity, and sustainability. The Foundation produces dedicated education, workshops, events, and webinars to facilitate discourse for these important topics.
Beyond the Bar programming includes seminars presented annually at Tales of the Cocktail®, global activations such as workshops, a career fair, service projects, and holds past Full Hands In / Full Hands Out webinar episodes that ran from 2020 to 2022.

SERVICE PROJECTS
Tales of the Cocktail Foundation is dedicated to serving our communities. Tales of the Cocktail and Tales on Tour attendees have options to participate with a day of service activity alongside staff and committees. In the past, this has included beach clean up, house rebuilding, and meal prep.
During Tales of the Cocktail 2022, Tales of the Cocktail joined the Saint Bernard Project (SBP) in rebuilding homes in New Orleans post-Hurricane Ida.
New Orleans was hard hit by Hurricane Ida. For Tales of the Cocktail 2022, attendees joined Tales of the Cocktail Foundation and SBP in a Day of Service on July 24, 2022. After a disaster, homeowners need recovery to be as prompt and predictable as possible in order to limit the amount of time they suffer the effects of displacement. SBP rebuilds for low- to moderate-income homeowners, placing a special focus on families with small children, the elderly, disabled persons, war veterans, and the under and uninsured. This service project included hanging insulation or drywall, mudding/spackling, sanding, texturing, priming, painting, laying floors, and/or hanging trim, doors, and baseboards.
