Drink Up: The Bar That Jack Built

14 September 2015 | 12:25 pm | Staff Writer

The world's first crowd-sourced bar was created in Sydney last year, and this year it's happening again and also travelling to Melbourne.

The bar's called The Bar That Jack Built and will be completely built by fans and made from materials donated by fans. Up-and-coming bands have also been sought out to provide entertainment once the bars are operational. And it's all part of a unique event by Jack Daniel's that will honour the birthday (well, no one knows the exact date, but it's customary to celebrate it in September) of none other than Jack Daniel himself. 

The Bar That Jack Built is being built at six workshops between Wollongong and Geelong, and the finished thing will be on display, up and running at Federation Square, Melbourne, 18-20 Sep and Parramatta Park, Sydney, 25-27 Sep. Food will be provided by the best local food trucks.
