E95 Andrew Daw

This week we are joined by Andrew Daw - Canadian Brand Ambassador for Crystal Head Vodka and Signal Hill Whisky. Andrew was born and grew up in St John’s, NewFoundLand but currently resides in Toronto, Ontario.

Andrew started working in The Industry at the age of 19 when he landed his first job as a bouncer/security at Club Bounce in St John’s. From there, Andrew eventually moved over to the Sundance where he got his first taste of working behind the bar as he now moved on to being bar back as well as a bouncer. Andrew spent over a decade working the bar and restaurant strip of George Street in St Johns in many different facets of the bar and restaurant industry as he has worked the dish pit, food runner, promotions, bar back, bartender, server, supervisor and bar manager.

In 2015, Andrew entered his first bartending competition when he competed in the Best Caesar in St. John’s where he placed 2nd. A few months later, Andrew completed in the MIXXIT on the Rock Best Bartender in St John’s where he placed 1st. It was at this point that Andrew started taking bartending more seriously as he had developed the confidence required to grow his skills. Andrew stared entering additional competitions and conducting bar training sessions.

In 2018, Andrew moved to Toronto where he was hired as part of the opening team at Don Alfonso 1890. From there, Andrew moved on to the The Shore Club where he eventually landed the role as Bar Manager where he spent the next year and a half.

In January 2020, Andrew stared his current role as Canadian Brand Ambassador for Crystal Head Vodka and Signal Hill Whisky. Dan Aykroyd is the creator and major owner of Crystal Head Vodka.
