It’s official – The Annual Smooth Ambler Drambleree is set for September 26-27th and you’re invited!
Join us for a weekend of fun with a Backyard BBQ Bash Night 1 featuring a barrel selection, bluegrass band, BBQ, and of course–bourbon, followed by “Bourbon & the 1920’s” Night 2, featuring vintage cocktails, a prohibition-inspired dinner, live jazz, casino games, and more! Additional event specifics can be found below.
**Our friends at The School House Hotel (which is also our venue for Night 2) have generously blocked ALL their rooms just for our Dramblers. That means you’ll have a comfy spot to crash from Thursday through Sunday (9/25-28) if you wish — free rein and easy access to the rooftop and The Varsity bar, perfect for those “very serious” bottle-sharing “discussions.” There are 28 rooms available, so grab yours before they’re gone! If you miss out or want to stay nearby, we’re happy to help connect you to a cozy Airbnb close to the action!
Email Jill to reserve your spot at jillb@smoothambler.com or call us at 304-497-3123.
