BARTENDER Magazine and Martini Expo Launch the NYC Martini Expo 2025 Interactive Heatmap

New York, NY — September 5, 2025 — BARTENDER® Magazine, the official media partner of the inaugural Martini Expo, today unveiled an interactive, mobile-friendly “NYC Martini Expo 2025 Map,” a living guide to the bars, restaurants, and must-sip martinis surrounding this year’s celebration of the world’s most iconic cocktail. Explore the map now: https://bartender.com/heatmaps/martini-expo-nyc-2025-heatmap/.

Debuting September 12–13 at Industry City in Brooklyn and presented by The Mix with Robert Simonson, the Martini Expo is a first-of-its-kind, two-day event that spotlights the martini’s culture, craft, and current renaissance through curated tastings, seminars, guest bartender appearances, and more. Programming begins with a ticketed martini dinner at Confidant on Friday evening, followed by a full Saturday schedule of classes and a mixer highlighting top bartenders and brands.

Created in partnership with the Expo, BARTENDER Magazine’s heatmap is designed to help attendees and locals plan their martini crawl across New York City. The map features neighborhood pins and a streamlined directory listing for each venue—including address, featured martini, spirit spotlight, pricing, and links for directions, websites, and Instagram—so readers can move seamlessly from inspiration to reservation. The guide will be updated as new venues and features are added throughout Expo week.

“BARTENDER has always connected enthusiasts and working pros with what’s new and noteworthy in cocktail culture,” said the BARTENDER editorial team. “This interactive guide extends that mission to martini lovers—making it easy to find standout versions of the drink before, during, and after the Expo.”

The Martini Expo collaboration underscores BARTENDER Magazine’s role as a trusted hub for the bartending community. Earlier this year, BARTENDER announced its status as official media partner to the Expo, aligning the magazine’s nationwide audience with the event’s programming and citywide “martini week” energy.
