There aren’t many buzzes like the one you get after a warm sip of whiskey. An unlimited number of them are available this weekend in St. Petersburg when Whiskey Business, a Creative Loafing Tampa Bay event, returns to the James Museum.

Bourbons and select scotches—including locally-produced spirits, small batch booze, and more—are on the menu along with hors d’oeuvres, live music, line dancing, and more. VIP admission includes swag, early entry, and special VIP-only drink.

Tickets start at $60 for Whiskey Business: Boots, Brews & Bourbon on Friday, Nov. 7 in St. Petersburg.
