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.
Nominate your city’s Most Mana-ful bar or restaurant below. After the nomination period, 20 bars will be named the most Mana-ful bars in America and featured on our website.
When you nominate your neighborhood’s most Mana-ful bar or restaurant, you can enter into a sweepstakes with prizes provided by Time Out and Teremana Tequila.
You’ll have a chance to win $3,000 to host your own Mana-ful celebration—invite your best buds, pour some Teremana and toast to good mana—and some exclusive Teremana Tequila swag.
