About us
Barmano, One world, One bar.

Our goal is to be a comprehensive resource for "all things bar" and promote the good people and happenings of the beverage and bar industry. At the core of the project is our love for a great drink in hand, good conversation and exploring new places. It's an important part of many cultures and traditions around the world. We hope you feel the same way, whether you're a professional in the industry or someone who just wants to enjoy a drink with friends after work. Our bar guide is rapidly expanding with over 53,000 bars in 59 countries! So pleanty of opportunity to discover new places, and share your favorite home away from home, anywhere in the world.
Why so many bars, why not just have "the best"? Well, we feel everyone has different tastes and we leave it to the community to rate and review their favorite (or least favorite) places. Be sure and make a list of your favorite drinks and bar (by clicking on "add to favorites").
Anything new coming? Absolutely! We're a creative lot, so count on lots of new stuff to come. With our brand and ingredient catalog expansion, growth in community and social networking opportunities, bar jobs center, and beverage events calendar, Barmano is growing it's list of project contributors that are passionate about we're doing.

The Team
David Slade
David, the project founder, is a native of the Seattle area, and now calls San Francisco home.

David studied Business and Psychology. He's live abroad for a short stint in Dublin and Belfast, and recently for 9 years in Paris. During the off hours, he trained his wine tasting skills with a few oenological researchers in Paris, where he became an evangelist for wines from Bourgogne (Burgundy for you english types), St. Emillion and the Rhone Valley.
Despite many "German vs English" beer arguements around him, he still likes cocktails and wine more, and keeps drinking shots of Fernet Branca hoping to put more hair on his chest. His favorite cocktails of the month are a Sidecar and a Brandy Flip. David is a member of the United States Bartenders' Guild.
