#5 In the Beginning with Wolfgang Bartos, Jorgos Stein & Ian Bartos

<p><strong>The Roots of a Bartending &amp; entrepreneur Legacy</strong></p><p>In this captivating episode, we sit down with Wolfgang Bartos, the award-winning Austrian bartender whose journey in the 1960s laid the foundation for a multi-generational passion for cocktails and mixology.</p><p>Born in Vienna, Wolfgang began his bartending career in 1965, quickly earning recognition for his skills behind the bar. Driven by a fascination with American cocktail culture, he embarked on a transformative adventure: crossing the Atlantic via the iconic Holland America Line. This classic ocean liner voyage brought him from Europe to the United States, where he immersed himself in the vibrant world of New York bars and the evolving art of American mixology. He fell in love with the creativity, precision, and showmanship of U.S. cocktails, shaping his style and approach that blended European tradition with bold transatlantic flair.</p><p>Known for his &quot;rock &#39;n roll&quot; personality on the restaurant floor, Wolfgang&#39;s energy and expertise made him a standout figure in the industry. His experiences traveling the seas and working in America not only honed his craft but also inspired the next generation—most notably his son Ian Bartos, who followed in his footsteps, mastering flair bartending and winning the world championship in 2003.</p><p>This episode traces the beginnings of Wolfgang&#39;s epic journey to the Netherlands (where he eventually settled), his time aboard Holland America Line ships, his eye-opening adventures in the USA, and his lifelong dedication to cocktails. It&#39;s a story of migration, discovery, and the timeless allure of a perfectly made drink.</p><p>Join us for real talk about the golden era of bartending, the influence of ocean liner hospitality, and how one man&#39;s passion sparked innovation that lives on today through Springbay&#39;s revolutionary Cocktail Fountain Station.</p><p>A must-listen for bartenders, cocktail historians, and anyone who appreciates the human stories behind the bar.</p>

#4 In the Beginning Ian Bartos en Jorgos Stein

<p>In the Beginning openen Ian Bartos en Jorgos Stein de deuren naar hun wereld. Deze introductieserie vertelt hoe het allemaal begon: twee jonge gasten die via hun eerste cocktailstations en barervaringen de liefde voor het vak ontdekten. Hun gezamenlijke pad leidde tot de oprichting van Barsupport, een project dat begon uit passie voor gastvrijheid en inmiddels een herkenbare naam is in de scene.In dit eerste hoofdstuk blikken ze terug op de momenten die hen gevormd hebben: het vallen en opstaan achter de bar, de energie van samenwerken, en het lef om een eigen onderneming te starten. Tegelijkertijd geven ze een kijkje vooruit: hoe die eerste stappen in 2010-2020 de basis legden voor waar ze nu in 2025 staan.In the Beginning is meer dan een verhaal over bartending; het is een introductie tot de reis van twee ondernemers die hun liefde voor het vak omzetten in een levensmissie.</p>
