If you’re going to be at the Texas Rum Festival this weekend, here’s a quick guide to events happening outside of the main show. These are events that are sponsored by brands or bars and aren’t part of the official show agenda. Some require reservations or the purchase of a ticket, I’ve provided links to registration sites.

Here’s a map with the locations plotted. As they say, everything is bigger in Texas, and you’ll need to drive to several of the events. Swizzle is a ten minute drive from the conference center. The conference center and the event at Ruins on Saturday are in easy walking distance of each other (the pins are on top of each other in the map). Smoking Jacket Cigar Lounge is a ~20 minute drive, and it’s safe to assume the DFW Rum Club house party will also be a drive.

Here’s the TRF official event schedule as well.
