About Héktor Monroy:
Héktor’s first interest in bartending began when he was helping out at a friend’s bar in Madrid. Soon after in 2002, he started learning more about mixology at the amateur level, realising his style as a mix between classic and innovative with premium and trendy spirits. In 2004, after becoming the Regional Champion of the Grand Prix Bacardi-Martini competition in Madrid, Héktor began to professionally delve into the art of mixology. Following that first award came a string of important achievements and accolades at national finals and championships that took Héktor all over Spain, culminating in number 1 in 2010 of Madrid from the International Bartenders Association (IBA) and working for The Queen of Spain.

Fascinated by the booming mixology scene in Asia, Héktor arrived in Shanghai ,China, in 2010, where he was soon voted as the “Top Shaker of Shanghai” by World Class DIAGEO. He also won “Best Cocktails” and “Bar of the Year” at the City Weekend Readers’ Choice Awards 2014-2015, further proving his bartending skills. His major projects in Asia include the largest Latin Lounge in Asia with Two Michelin Stars Chef Mauro Colagreco Unico, the first Louis Vuitton Lounge in Asia and the first Mercedes me Bar in the world.
