James Beard taps Las Ramblas: Brownsville bar makes ‘Outstanding Bar’ semifinals
Downtown Brownsville cocktail lounge Las Ramblas at Market Square has been selected as a semifinalist for a 2023 James Beard Foundation award in the Outstanding Bar category. Co-owner Michael Limas said the business has been enjoying some momentum with a recent article in Texas Highways, and that the recognition helps showcase Brownsville talent. The Outstanding Bar category isn’t limited to cocktail lounges but also includes beer and wine bars — even coffee bars — as long as beverages are the primary offering. Limas wondered weather Las Ramblas’ community involvement, such as hosting cocktail competitions for instance, could have helped it in the eyes of the judges. Five finalists will be announced in March and the final winners revealed at the JBF Awards ceremony in Chicago in June.
