Thank you to our sponsor – Aperol
We are delighted to have Aperol sponsoring the Bar Manager of the Year of the year at the Bar Awards 2026!
Without the support of our sponsors, we wouldn’t be able to have such a successful annual event and in turn, we ask you to consider supporting our sponsors with your business where you can.
Aperol is a true icon of hospitality, capturing the spirit of Italian aperitivo culture since 1919. Created in Padua by brothers Luigi and Silvio Barbieri, it has become a timeless symbol of sociability, style, and shared moments.
Aperol represent the relaxed pleasure of gathering over a perfectly served drink. Its distinctive bittersweet notes of orange, gentian, and rhubarb create a vibrant foundation for cocktails, most famously the classic Aperol Spritz. With its unmistakable orange glow and refreshing character, it continues capturing the hearts of consumers and bartenders around the world.
Aperol is proud to support the visionaries behind the bars that shape unforgettable experiences. As sponsor of the Bar Manager of the Year Award, Aperol celebrates the leadership, creativity, and dedication bar managers bring to their teams and venues. Together, we raise a glass to the passion and professionalism that define excellence in hospitality.
