The Team
At Montgomery Place we don't just create great cocktails, we create great bartenders. Each taught by his predecessor, but infusing his own personality and style, they rise through the ranks to earn their striking yellow braces…
A symbol of style and personality, earned through an inexhaustible thirst for knowledge these are the mark of a quality bartender.
With a low staff turnover we hope you find your favourite barmen on each and every visit.
Ales Olasz
Ales joined the team at Montgomery Place in 2007, working previously at the Paparazzi in Bratislava and the specialist Absinth bar Chat Noir.
He's risen through the ranks to now become the current Montgomery Place Bar Manager.
