Bartender Ginny Lawhorn launches new charity event at Johnny Rad's
If you've been to the Landmark Theater in Harbor East, you might have seen and tasted some of the movie-inspired drinks bartender Ginny Lawhorn makes.
There have been "Mad Men" drinks, "Star Trek" and "Harry Potter," and soon, there will be a cocktail for the tackiness explosion that will surely be "Burlesque."
Tonight, Lawhorn will bartend for free at Fells Point's Johnny Rad's to launch the first of an event she's created called "Tend for a Cause."
Every month, Lawhorn will bartend at some local independent bar and donate her tips to a charitable cause.
She created the event after she won City Paper's Readers Poll for best bartender because, Lawhorn said, she wanted to put the award to good use.
Tonight's tips will benefit local artist Sylvia Ortiz' breast cancer treatment. And much like Boozin for Boobs, is as good a reason as any to get blotto tonight, not that you needed one.
The event starts at 8 p.m. at Johnny Rad's, 2108 Eastern Avenue.
