MOST MANA-FUL BAR WINNERS


Time Outers shared 700 bars and restaurants across the United States, and their
stories and comments about each spot made it easy for us to imagine how welcome
we would be if we stopped in for a tequila cocktail right now. 
 
We loved seeing how these businesses are actively strengthening their
communities. It’s clear that there’s BIG Mana-ful energy out there from coast to
coast!
 
It wasn't easy, but our talented crew of judges narrowed the field to these
twenty winners. Congrats to all!
 
To all who submitted, thanks for coming on this feel-good, drink-good journey
with us. And the next time you travel make sure to stop in at these Mana-ful
bars and tell ’em Teremana and Time Out sent you.

   tomato, peppers, pineapple, corn, lime and crispy pork jerky.

Yesterday's

Morrilton, Arkansas



What fans are saying: Sure, this dive and live music joint might not have the
fanciest lights or a greatest stage, but what it lacks in beauty it sure makes
up for in spirit! Yesterday's is the kind of place where you feel totally
accepted as you can go dressed up or down. Plus, you’ll always hear great sounds
while enjoying great drinks from behind the bar that are always delivered with a
smile.

Big Bar

Los Angeles, California



What fans are saying: This bar is a real neighborhood gem with an intimate but
unique layout that attracts a good crowd. The spot also hosts some amazing theme
nights which really bring out the community. These events feel more like parties
at someone's house where your drinking and dancing among friends.

Rose & Crown

Palo Alto, California



What fans are saying: The most Mana-ful bar in the country may not be the
trendiest or the flashiest, but it’s the kind of spot that always makes you feel
welcome. It’s the kind of place that invites you to stay, radiating warmth and
friendliness. The rock-solid staff sprinkles every interaction with positivity
and genuine smiles, making sure no one ever feels out of place. And the best
part? This place genuinely cares about being an active part of the community,
not for the applause, but because it’s simply the right thing to do.

St. Felix

Hollywood, California



What fans are saying: St. Felix is an L.A. institution that has been serving
award-winning drinks for over a decade.

The Fishery

Pacific Beach, California



What fans are saying: At its core, this neighborhood restaurant and bar has big
mana-ful energy for its ability to welcome others. The bar believes in bringing
people together over food and drink to create a family atmosphere. As for the
spot’s values? No matter how busy or stressful it gets, the staff constantly
reminds each other to “always do the right thing.”

Tony's Bar

Colorado Springs, Colorado



What fans are saying: Tony’s is my favorite hometown spot away from home. Truly,
the staff feels like an extension of my own family. The great food, drinks and
friendly, laid-back atmosphere doesn’t hurt either.

best bands and even better people! Best part? They serve Teremana.

BBC Tavern & Grill

Greenville, Delaware



What fans are saying: Great food and drinks, friendly staff—what more could you
want from a bar? A cool, feel-good perk is they open up the bar for fundraising
during their “guest bartending” weekly events.

Thick as Thieves

Boise, Idaho



What fans are saying: It has a super cool, fantastic atmosphere and wonderful
service. It's a speakeasy, so the experience is fun, but the drinks and the
staff are what make it so great.

Virtue

Chicago, Illinois



What fans are saying: Not only is Virtue known for its great food and bar menu,
it's truly—by all accounts—all about the Mana-ful life. Laid back, cool and
stylish, it also has the best happy hour bar menu in the neighborhood!

set at a perfect volume to hold a conversation without shouting. It's owned and
operated by women, too!

What fans are saying: The Monarch is a great spot to catch up with friends and
make new ones. All are welcome here. It even has a pet-friendly patio! Beyond
the incredible craft cocktails, pleasant ambience and top-tier service, I love
to pay my patronage here because the owner exudes Mana and is very active in the
community. They started a coalition to build a Habitat For Humanity house with
other local restaurants!

Rustica

Moorhead, Minnesota



What fans are saying: Rustica is right in the center of downtown Moorhead, my
hometown. Every meal and drink is crafted with love and great attention to
detail. it is a small bar and restaurant but is always packed full of the best
people in town—especially at happy hour. Their wood-fired pizzas are to die for!
With it being such a small intimate bar/restaurant in a small town many people
do know each other and it has a Cheers feel to it. My 91-year-old grandma lives
just three blocks away, so I often am there with her when we want to treat
ourselves.

Uno Mas

Oxford, Mississippi



What fans are saying: This bar is the coolest spot, from the food to the drinks
to just the vibe, plus its open late! Bonus, they have Teremana!

Allendale Bar & Grill

Allendale, New Jersey

generations have owned it, and it's been a staple and home for people for over
60 years. Family, friendships, love, mana, loss and happiness have been here for
years and makes us all one big family!!! This place legit has been a safe haven
for many over the years and continues to be the place to be.

Chinatown. The bar’s entrance compelled me to try it out. I was surprised by the

have unique drinks and I get to spend the night on a luxurious sofa. It was a
very memorable experience.

What fans are saying: Tillie's consistently gives back and makes room for the
tight-knit community of Northside. The owner is welcoming, generous and
dedicated to creating a warm, colorful and vibrant queer space that appeals to
all. This spot is all about community, and while it's focused on the LGBTQ+
community, it's a welcoming place for any who enter. I’ve spent so much time
here, whether it’s while watching sports, chatting about great reads over book
club or singing show tunes with the crew. This place is a home for many who
don't have them and for anyone who wants one.

WHAT IS MANA?


Teremana Tequila is named for “terra,” meaning earth, and “Mana,” the Polynesian
word loosely translated as spirit. Launched in 2020 by Dwayne “The Rock”
Johnson, Teremana embodies positivity and a commitment to community—and so do
the most Mana-ful bars.

The most Mana-ful bar in the country may not be the trendiest or the flashiest,
but it’s the kind of spot that always makes you feel welcome.

It’s the kind of place that invites you to stay, radiating warmth and
friendliness. The rock-solid staff sprinkles every interaction with positivity
and genuine smiles, making sure no one ever feels out of place. And the best
part? This place genuinely cares about being an active part of the community,
not for the applause, but because it’s simply the right thing to do.

Learn more about how Teremana shares the Mana.



 

We stepped inside bars in New York City and Los Angeles to find out what’s
Mana-ful there from bartenders and loyal patrons.

MANA-FUL STORIES


We talked to people across the country about the Mana-ful experiences they’ve
had in bars, restaurants and more. Check them out to truly understand how Mana
can make a difference.

 * “The man asked me if the sliders were good and I insisted he take my last
   one. He happily obliged. The bartender, who witnessed the whole thing, comped
   my drink and gave me a discount. It was a kind and human moment that made me
   realize the power of paying it forward, no matter how big or small and the
   friendly feel of the restaurant and brewery inspired it.”
   
   — Morgan, Chicago, Illinois

 * This neighborhood-bolstering haunt is spearheaded by an incredibly kind and
   compassionate woman, Antonia, who really gets to know her patrons (she even
   went on vacation with someone she met there!) The night that my partner and I
   got engaged, we went there to celebrate. Antonia, ecstatic to hear our news,
   offered us a free round of drinks. Half-joking but half-serious, we said that
   we should get married there. Without hesitation, she replied “Let’s do it!” 
   
   — Jen, Astoria, New York

 * Is there a better New Jersey hero than Tony Clause? Back when Ale ‘n’ Wich
   was the only bar open on Christmas Day, the Tony tradition began. He brings a
   giant sack of wacky wrapped gag gifts and hands them out to revelers (he’s a
   generous guy, but the bar now takes donations to support his gift-giving!).
   
   — Jeff, New Brunswick, New Jersey

grounds solely for Teremana—Destilería Teremana de Agave. Here they craft
Teremana with a love for great tequila made the right way, in small batches, by
hand.
