Miles Teller will be serving long drinks at Ohio State this Wednesday.

The “Top Gun: Maverick” actor and canned cocktail company The Finnish Long Drink are teaming up to host “Drinks with Miles Teller” at 7:30 p.m. at Library Bar – 2169 N. High St. – and “Drinks with Miles Teller” at 9:30 p.m host Out-R-Inn – located at 20 E. Frambes Ave. – where Teller will be a celebrity bartender.

According to a Monday evening Instagram post Those wishing to attend the event are welcome to line up outside in the library bar until the doors open at 3:00 p.m

“We are absolutely thrilled about this opportunity and know they couldn't have chosen a better campus!!!” The one in the library bar listed post. “So make sure you get in line early because once we’re full, we’re full!!”

According to Long Drink's websiteTeller decided to invest in the brand after visiting a bodega in New York's old Lower East Side. There he met the founders of Long Drink, who were holding a tasting event following the brand's launch in the US in 2018.

According to an Instagram post From Long Drink, Teller will also stop by the University of Georgia as part of his “Long Drink College Tour.”

David Mandler, senior vice president of Magrino — the public relations firm that represents Long Drink — said in an email that Teller's visit to Ohio State mimicked a similar event last year in which he traveled to Michigan University.

Mandler said the event was a success, so Long Drink decided to ask his Instagram followers where Teller should go next.

“We received an overwhelming number of inquiries about Ohio State and felt we owed Ohio State a visit after paying attention to the rival last season,” Mandler said. “In addition, the Finnish long drink made its debut across Ohio in 2020, and the team saw this as a great opportunity to interact with fans of the brand from the past four years and introduce it to those who may not yet be familiar .”

Quinn Allen, owner of Library Bar, said in an email that the brand selected the eatery as one of the tour participants.

“Long Drink has been a rocket ship of a brand and continues to grow in popularity,” Allen said. “We are fortunate to be able to ride this wave with them as a bar that offers their range.”

Allen said the bar's patio will be open during the event to accommodate as many people as possible.

“We are very familiar with operating at capacity day in and day out, and given the excitement involved, we know this event will provide just that and more,” Allen said.

Allen said that in addition to Teller's guest appearance, there will also be karaoke, a DJ, prizes and giveaways, as well as long drink samples – including flavors like citrus, cranberry and peach – and “swag.”

“Participants can look forward to an exciting night at their favorite bar on campus while sharing the experience with a real guy who is also a phenomenal actor,” Allen said. “We are very fortunate to have (Teller) at this event and even happier that we have the staff to provide us with these opportunities.”

Out-R-Inn did not respond to The Lantern's request for comment at the time of publication.

Mandler said the opportunity to host events like this is always exciting for the brand, but also for the bars and fans who get to attend.

“Because (Teller) is an investor in the brand, he can authentically tell the story of The Finnish Long Drink while appealing to an audience that trusts his product taste,” Mandler said. “These events also provide the brand with an exciting and exclusive opportunity to interact with our fans across the country.”

Mandler said the brand is ready to bring even more excitement to Ohio State's already passionate campus on Wednesday.

“Ohio State fans, the Buckeyes, are widely known for their passion for the university and its football team, and we are excited to bring that passion to The Finnish Long Drink,” said Mandler.
