About Brad Coburn

Brad Coburn has been in the Food and Beverage industry since 1994, working in various roles including barista, bartender, waiter, chef, and owner. His focus on craft bartending started in 2007 when he opened the casual fine dining restaurant, meLange, in downtown Sarasota. In 2010, his "spiritual" passion skyrocketed with the opening of his cocktail lounge, Pangea Alchemy Lab. Since then, he has earned multiple certifications and won a number of prestigious regional and national awards. Being dedicated to the community and the trade, Brad is regularly involved in national industry events. He founded the Sarasota Network of Bartenders (SNoB), was the Chair of Education for the Tampa Bay United States Bartenders' Guild from 2013-2019, and served as the Repeal Day Conference Gala Chair from 2014-2017.

Brad believes that “rising tides raise all boats.” He is constantly sharing his experience and knowledge with other bartenders and consumers. He hopes to show people that the hospitality industry can be a great career path and not just a stepping stone to a "real" job.
