Founder Analog Bartending Institute and the Nikka Brand Global Hospitality Advocate.A man widely credited as the one “who connected Eastern philosophies with Western bar practices”.His life-long mission is: Cultivating Hospitable Hearts, Minds and Bodies, One Person At A Time and Designing and Sharing practices that elevate the GUEST experience!A firm believer in serving the guest foremost, Stanislav Vadrna's life-long mission is to rejuvenate the professional bartender’s status in the realm of hospitality. To that end, Vadrna is working to redefine the global bar industry standards in line with the Zen philosophy of “ichi-go ichi-e,” or “one time, one meeting.” Some people may drink to forget, but for Vadrna, the experience of a cocktail is as much about celebrating and acknowledging this moment (as it passes) as it is celebrating the craft of a well-made drink.Born and raised in Slovakia, Vadrna’s bartending career has taken him all over the world. But when he’s not connecting Eastern ideals with Western bar practices, Vadrna makes his home in Bratislava, Slovakia and India.With a strong focus on Japanese bartending and hospitality, introduced to him by Kazuo Uyeda in Tokyo, Stanislav Vadrna is the man who connected East and West.The most pressing issue facing the BAR industry today is hospitality itself: the art of not just making a great drink, but of making a guest’s night into an unforgettable experience.
