Achilleas Plakidas

A relative newcomer to the world of bartending, Achilleas Plakidas started his career in 2012, serving margaritas in a small bar in Thessaloniki. From there, he went on to manage a new bar project for two years before opening his own place, Gorilla Bar, a sensory space, full of colours and flavours and dedicated to celebrating life. He believes working as a bartender is what he was born to do and can't wait to put his “think outside the box” philosophy in use.

Achilleas is also the Worldclass Greece bartender of the year 2018.
