What is Bar Exchange?

Bar Exchange is the network for the bar and hospitality industry. Anyone can join, it's FREE!

As a business, you can use Bar Exchange to quickly share information and build relationships with customers, partners and other people who care about your company or brand.



Promote yourself, your business or your brand!

Watch bar training videos

Prepare for a career in the hospitality industry by watching our training videos. First, watch the videos then take the test & finally earn the qualification. The more tests you pass, the higher your rating & the more visible you become in employer searches.

Find a job or recruit staff

Look in the job section to find the current list of vacancies. Alternatively, if you are an employer, you can post a job advert and use the candidate search tool to hand pick the most suitable candidates for your establishment.

Discover & review drink brands

Bar Exchange aims to host the world’s largest, online alcoholic drinks library. Your brand is hopefully already listed in our Drinks Library & there may already be several reviews written! A brand will always have its fans & its critics; we want to work with you to manage this conversation & help you channel it thoughtfully through the forum on your brand page.
