Bartender International

Filip Stránský, AnonymouS Bar, Prague

When I dropped out of school, I decided to do an apprenticeship in the kitchen and in service. In the second year of my apprenticeship, my parents paid for me to attend a Barkeeper workshop. The instructor was Josef Zelenka. I sat in the middle of the bar and watched him shake and stir, and at that moment I realized that this was what I wanted to do.

I was born on May 8, 1990 in Prague. After graduating from school I got a scholarship because I played semi-professional football. Since my father was a building contractor, he wanted me to ... Read more...

Bartender International

Knud Scheibelt, Schwarz Weiss Bar, Stuttgart

I am originally from Mainz. After school, I started an apprenticeship in the hospitality industry in Freiburg, and after my studies and military service, I worked as a waitress in a business hotel in Mainz. At some point, my supervisor approached me and said, "Follow me to the bar, please." He told me that Andrea, the bartender, had just quit and so he showed me where to find the syrups, juices, spirits and all the recipes.

It was in 2001: "Have fun, you are now our Barkeeper!" I tried to do the job as good as I could, but of course I didn't use jiggers or pourers, ... Read more ...
