Andrey Lagodich is one of the few bartenders in Southern Russia who doesn't chase fame. He transforms each cocktail into a work of art, using seasonal and local ingredients, as well as molecular techniques – his "nano-spheres" have already impressed many guests! Creativity, continuous improvement, and the exchange of experience are Andrey's guiding principles. Guest bartending is an excellent way to showcase his talents and learn from his colleagues. Several industry stars, including Andrey Bolshakov, Evgeny Shashin, Ilya Doronin, and Evgeny Malko, have already had the opportunity to work behind Andrey's bar during guest appearances.
