CKS September 21 2011: Bartender David Bain

Bartender: David Bain

From: Uva

 

Born and bred in Vancouver, David Bain brings an energetic passion for craft cocktails, wine and spirits, plus an exquisite skill behind the bar, to his position as Bar Manager at Uva Wine Bar and Cibo Trattoria.   His love for the industry was ignited as a teenager, and further developed through years of hard work  at many of Vancouver’s top restaurants like Blue Water Café + Raw Bar, Brix, Chow, Fiction and West.   David – being an adventurous spirit – seized the opportunity to travel to Australia where he worked at Harvest in Perth and Taxi Dining Room in Melbourne before returning to Vancouver.

 

A well-spoken and gracious host, David contributes a unique personality to the Uva and Cibo environment.  He is dedicated to sharing his positive energy, product knowledge and cutting-edge technique with those around him and thrives on drawing on the expertise of his colleagues. David’s lifelong thirst for knowledge in his industry has lead him to complete the Wine and Spirit Education Trust (WSET) levels 2 and 3 and enroll in a spirit specialist course. At Uva and Cibo, we are fortunate to have someone as well-respected, knowledgeable and well-liked as David on our team.

 

David looks forward to creating memorable experiences, great drinks and good fun at the bar for his guests at Uva Wine Bar and Cibo Trattoria.
