The Bi-Coastal Bartender Shaking Up the Scene
With a shaker in one hand and a passport in the other, Quiana has redefined what it means to be a bartender in the modern world. Known in the industry as the "Bi-Coastal Bartender," she brings a unique blend of worldly sophistication, cultural curiosity, and hometown heart to every pour.
After a decade-long career as a flight attendant, Quiana traveled the globe, collecting stories, flavors, and inspirations from every corner of the world. Her passion for learning about people and cultures through food and beverage became the spark that lit the fire for her next journey—behind the bar, where she began crafting what she calls “liquid art.”
Rooted in tradition but never afraid to experiment, she proudly remains involved in her family’s two restaurants—both community staples with over 25 years of success. Whether she's developing seasonal menus, mentoring staff, or hosting one-of-a-kind tasting events, she stays connected to the legacy that shaped her palate and work ethic.
Now splitting time between both U.S. coasts, Quiana creates elevated, exclusive cocktail experiences that celebrate flavor, artistry, and connection. Her mission? To bring globally inspired, locally grounded moments of joy to every community she serves.
A true tastemaker with a heart for hospitality, Quiana is not just mixing drinks—she's telling stories, building bridges, and turning every glass into a masterpiece.
