Once again, we welcomed the world’s elite bartenders
At the beginning of February, we had the honor—already for the second time—of welcoming exceptional guests to Pradiareň: bartenders from three continents who visited us as part of the Mirror Bartenders Summit 3.0. This unique concept connects some of the world’s top bars with an authentic experience of the country hosting them. And this time, it was Slovakia’s turn.
Three Continents, One Passion
The third edition of the summit brought together Africa, South America, and Europe. Among the guest bars were renowned names such as:
- Labadi Beach Hotel – La Borracha (@laborrachagh, Accra, GHANA)
- Moebius Milano (@moebiusmilano, Milan. ITALY)
- Ruby (@rubycph, Copenhagen, DENMARK)
- Tres Monos (@3monosbar, Buenos Aires, ARGENTINA)
Together with representatives of prestigious bar rankings—including the academy of The World’s 50 Best Bars and the platform Top 500 Bars—they brought the very best of the global bartending scene to Slovakia.
An Experience That Began Under the Tatras
The summit program didn’t start in a bar, but in nature. Guests explored the beauty of the High Tatras—majestic peaks, crisp mountain air, and authentic Slovak hospitality. The experience included a sleigh ride, discovering Slovak traditions, and a visit to our distillery.
For us at KARLOFF, it is always exceptional to show the world where TATRATEA is created—a tea-based herbal liqueur inspired by the pristine nature of the Tatras. The connection between craftsmanship, nature, and hospitality is a value we share with the world’s finest bars.
The Grand Finale in Bratislava
After an intense program in the mountains, the summit moved to the capital city. On February 6, the legendary Mirror Bar hosted an evening filled with guest shifts, exceptional cocktails, and international connections.
Slovakia on the Global Bar Map
Mirror Bartenders Summit once again confirmed that Slovakia has much to offer—not only breathtaking nature, but also a strong community of professionals capable of organizing events of global significance.
We are proud to have been part of this initiative and to welcome bartenders who represent the absolute top of the global scene. Meetings like these push the boundaries of creativity, encourage the exchange of experience, and inspire all of us to keep growing.
