About Us

Barlady is a global platform that celebrates the talent, creativity, and empowerment of women in bartending and hospitality.

Founded in 2023 with the vision to give voice and visibility to female bartenders around the world, Barlady connects professionals through competitions, events, and international collaborations that redefine what it means to be behind the bar.

In 2026, Barlady takes its mission even further with the launch of the International Barlady Competition & Barlady Cocktail Weekend.

More than a competition, Barlady is a community — a space where skill meets passion, art meets culture, and every cocktail tells a story.

At Barlady, we believe that mixology is more than making drinks — it’s an art form, a language, and a celebration.

Our mission is to empower women, connect professionals, and raise the global standards of creativity and hospitality.

Barlady — Where passion meets purpose, and every cocktail tells her story.
