FAVORITE BARS?

Its whichever one I decide to go to on a night out. However Milk & Honey, Connaught Hotel, Artesian, American Bar, Happiness Forgets are of a more frequent style. There is a special place in my heart for Last Word in Edinburgh, what an amazing place.

What's next for you?

I'm enjoying the phase I'm in right now, everything is good, so just to keep up with it.

Best/worst chat up lines you've heard at a bar?

Best one: “hmmm” , Worst one: “can you tie a knot on a cherry stem with your tongue?” (they both worked, though)

Tell us a secret or something we don't know?

I tie my shoe laces  with a double knot at work

If you were to make a barchick cocktail, what would you put in it?

What did you want to be as a kid?

A Pharmacist after my mum. Bartending is the closest thing to it and I wouldn’t change it for anything
