Hello, I'm Stephen.
A knowledgeable and efficiënt bartender with a passion for drinks, whisky enthusiast and above all pretty awesome!
I am Stephen van der Meeren and I'm from the Netherlands. A knowledgeable and efficiënt bartender. Currently I am employed as a salesman for a Dutch liquor store chain for over 7 years and looking for something different. Hiring me would be my first real bartending job besides my small business that I run with a good friend of mine, Stijn. We've organised various cocktail parties for friends and company's (KPMG Eindhoven, St. Joris Zeelst) with great success as people recommended us to come back( and we did). Liquor, spirits, beer etc. is my passion and my life. I try my utter best to keep informed about the latest fads and upcoming drinks which I use in my current job and intend to use it on my next. Next to my current experience, EBS taught me more about drinks, the vast difference between people and how we can all work together for one goal, getting that certificate.
