Tomorrow night offers some real opportunities for local tipplers — two events that feature excellent cocktails, with one offering the chance to help out a worthy charity. Tomorrow, Thursday, Aug. 25, a dozen or so bars across Nashville will come together and donate a portion of their drink sales to fight HIV/AIDS in Middle Tennessee.
Proceeds from the inaugural "Bar AIDS" event will go to Nashville Cares to help their efforts to educate 50,000 adults and youth to prevent new HIV infections, provide 12,000 HIV tests and offer comprehensive support to 2,400 men, women and children living with HIV/AIDS in 17 Middle Tennessee counties.

If you don't want to bar-hop for charity, you can always just stay in one spot and enjoy the cocktails of 11 of Nashville's most talented mixologists at the same time. Well, hopefully in different glasses ... that would be one helluva Long Island Tea otherwise.
