About us

Welcome to Barman Emporium – A Passionate Journey Through the Art of Cocktails

From a single shaker to an entire bartending empire, the story of Barman Emporium began in the heart of Hugo P., a man passionate about cocktails and hospitality. In 2009, armed with a shaker and a dream, Hugo started a journey that would grow into a company dedicated to crafting unique experiences through mixology.

 
From Shaker to Empire
In 2010, selling his first shaker online became a turning point — the spark that gave life to ArmaTuBar.com, the first physical and online barware store in Venezuela.
What started as a store quickly became a community for liquor enthusiasts, bartenders, mixologists, and brand ambassadors, sponsoring international competitions in Venezuela, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico.

 
A Global Vision, Rooted in Passion
As Hugo traveled and worked in the cocktail world, he saw a growing passion for spirits and mixology. People everywhere wanted to learn, explore, and enjoy the art behind every drink.

In 2017, this vision expanded to the United States with the opening of Barman Emporium Events in Florida, then in Pennsylvania. By 2022, the journey continued to Tampa Bay, Florida, bringing profession in 2019.  By 2022, the journey continued to Tampa Bay, Florida, bringing professional bartending, signature cocktails, and unforgettable events to a whole new audience.
