Vasilis Kyritsis
I was born in Athens in 22/2/1987. Although I studied nursery, I'm involved in the drinking business the past 14 years.
I had the chance to work behind a few iconic Greek bars such us Pere Ubu, Eclipse, Aperitif and The Gin Joint where I will be until the end of September 2014. After that I’m Co owner of the Clumsies, Athens and recently Line Athens.
In 2012 I was announced Bartender of the Year in Diageo World Class Greece competition and I represented my country (Greece) to the Global Finals in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
Since then I followed a series of seminars, trainings and mentoring all over the World by a few of the most recognized Spirit experts.
The last 8 years I'm bartender and Co- owner at The Clumsies, Athens. We have the honor to be at Top4 shortlist as "best international High volume bar 2016", Top4 shortlist as "best new international bar 2015" at Tales of the cocktail and ranked at 22 position for World's 50 best bars 2015. After that the Clumsies is on the top ten 50best bars list for 7 times in row and won best high volume international bar for 2018 at Tales of the Cocktails.
In personal level, I was nominated as ‘’Top10 international bartender of the year 2017’’ at Tales of the Cocktail Competition, New Orleans.
Last award was on the list of top100 most influential people in our industry published by class magazine for three times.
I consider Bartending as the most creative job in the World.
