PROOF
Charleston, S.C.

On King Street in Charleston, S.C., Brian Barna serves as the Bar Manager in a cocktail bar called Proof. With over a decade of experience, he mentors a small crew of bartenders and bar backs to create their own cocktails through inspirations from movies, music, and culinary recipes. What brings him to work everyday? The simple answer is love.

A love of creating a nightly vibe through music, conversations, and wonderfully executed cocktails. A love of spirits from zero proof all the way up to high proof whiskey. Finally, a love of educating the highly inquisitive enthusiasts of cocktails, and new bartenders that are finding themselves behind the stick in a cocktail bar.
