Hello, I'm Matej.
Passionate Bartender looking to hone my skills, expand my knowledge and make friends along the way
At first I had started as a seasonal bartender for a couple of years at Papa's Beach Bar on Croatia's wonderful Krk Island, and fell in love with the cocktail culture immediately! Finished the Barmen.Hr Bartender&Barista School and was invited to work at the up and coming "Three Monkeys" cocktail bar where I had the privilege of having one of the country's top bartenders/mixologist as a mentor. Traveling is one of my passions as well as learning from different cultures so I decided to go to Ireland where I graduated top of my class with a score of 97% at EBS Dublin. I am always looking to learn something new and further expand my skills as I find the hospitality industry to be very stimulating environment I find a lot of joy in and I like to share it with people while serving up delicious drinks
