Episode 150 - The champion bartender in Australia Evan Strove from RE Bar talks Sustainability

Evan Stroeve is from Sydney’s acclaimed South Eveleigh bar, Re, has claimed a coveted Top 10 spot at this year’s World Class Bartender of the Year global finals and has since become the 2021 World Class Australian Bartender of the Year.

Evan has always had bartending in his blood. Having grown up in Bathurst, his first job behind the bar was at one of his local pubs, Elephant & Castle Hotel, when he was 18 years old.

Since moving to Sydney he has worked at some awesome venues including Shady Pines Saloon, Frankie’s Pizza, The Baxter Inn and Restaurant Hubert before joining Bulletin Place in 201.

Evan currently works alongside Scout London owner, and previous podcast guest, on episode 127, Matt Whiley at Sydney’s new Re, a regenerative drinking experience pioneering a new approach to sustainable drinking.

In this podcast we talk with Evan about how he got to start working with Matt Whiley at RE, his recent win as the best bartender in Australia, his thoughts on sustainability and food waste, and how bar culture is continuing to be strong through the pandemic.
