Photos: 2025 Best of 225 Awards Party

On Tuesday, June 24, attendees at our Hot off the Press event at Bin 77 Bistro & Sidebar got a first look at who readers voted as this year’s Best of 225 Awards winners across all your favorite categories.

Eventgoers sipped on over 50 still and sparkling rosés at our curated wine tasting, then wound down the rest of the evening with live music, cocktails and a variety of bites from Bin 77 and Solera.

Dizzy! provided live music, and Le Doodle served up boozy popsicles.
