About

Aug. 28 and through Sept. 1, Whisler’s, East Austin’s destination bar, will feature a special Louisiana cocktail menu, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting Louisiana flood victims, as well as Oskar Blues Brewery’s Dale Pale Ale, which supports the nonprofit CAN’d AID Foundation. It all culminates at Whisler’s Louisiana Flood Relief Benefit Labor Day kickoff party on Thursday, Sept. 1 — the perfect kickoff soiree for Labor Day weekend — with 100 % of the proceeds from the sale of all sazeracs, Louisiana’s favorite cocktail, going to charity. Doors are open for the Thursday night Whisler’s benefit 4 p.m. to 2am with live music and burlesque throughout the evening.

A $5 donation at the door gets guests a raffle ticket with a chance to win at one of two raffle drawings per hour, with prizes ranging from gift cards to bottles of liquor, and several silent auctions with gifts like a night’s stay at Hotel Ella, a Sailor Jerry popcorn machine, tickets to a University of Texas football game, ACL Music Festival single-day passes and much more.
