Originally from Slovakia, Martin first moved to London in 2007 and discovered a passion for bartending whilst working at D&D’s Pont De La Tour Restaurant. Martin then headed to HUSH in Mayfair before moving on to The Donovan Bar at Brown’s Hotel where he spent five years developing his knowledge and bartending skills. He was quickly made Head Bartender after just one year, instilling in him the high quality standards of service and team leadership required for a hotel bar. In 2015, Martin had the honour of spending four months working directly with the legendary Javier de las Muelas of Dry Martini in Barcelona, before launching its first UK outpost, Dry Martini London, as Bar Manager. After a successful launch period, Martin was promoted to General Manager and in 2016 he was appointed as Bar Manager at Scarfes Bar.
