Bartender at Pearl Rotana’s The Warehouse Wine and Tapas Bar

Meet the bartender at new venue The Warehouse

I really enjoy the lifestyle of a bartender. It’s just so versatile. It’s what I love most about this job.

I’m a big fan of Indian film actor, producer, singer and television personality Salman Khan. I would love to serve him in my bar one day.

In my opinion, The Warehouse offers the three ‘Greats’ – great drinks, great food and great service. They are the most important qualities to making a bar successful.

There are definitely some overrated cocktails in the world. I think the White Russian is too hyped.

My favourite drink to create is an Old Fashioned. It’s the most underrated drink. Simple and elegant.

In my spare time, I like to work out in the gym and listen to music. I also really enjoy watching videos of top bartenders from around the world. They inspire me to be better and it’s fun to get tips from them.

When I’m not working at The Warehouse Wine & Tapas Bar I love exploring Abu Dhabi. I think Yas Island is a really cool place with loads of entertainment options.
