The third annual annual Battle of the Bars fund-raising event for the Newark Police K9 unit is slated for Friday, Aug. 21 from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m.
The event will be held on the patio at the Courtyard Newark at the University of Delaware.
Local bar-restaurants and their bartenders will be competing to see who has what it takes to win the PACO CUP, named in honor of a Newark Police K9.
Bars expected to be on hand include Caffe Gelato, the Stone Balloon Ale House, Deerpark, Catherine Rooney’s, The Greene Turtle, Grain Craft Bar + Kitchen and Taverna Rustic Italian. Grain opened recently at the former Mojo Main-East End Café location. Food will also be available.
All drink sales and tips from the night will be donated to the Friends of Newark K-9 Officers.
Music will be provided by James and Matt Acoustic.
The event will also feature a dunk tank with local celebrities along with raffles and prizes.
