I have been working at Saba on Clarendon Street for just over 4 and a half years now and I can’t believe how the time has flown by.

As I work in the bar area, it is usually a request for the drinks list.

We have an awesome, friendly team at Saba. I enjoy my shift every time I put on a uniform. I also love creating new cocktails and tasting new products, I love that the possibilities for creativity are endless.
Have you any funny stories that happened while working?
One of the barmen, Ronan, was off one of the days. So I picked up the phone at reception to ‘Hey it’s Ronan’. I said “WHATSSS THE STOORRYY BRO”. Then he said ‘can I book a table for tonight?’ It wasn’t my workmate, it was actually a customer.
What is your favourite restaurant in Dublin City?
There are so many options that I can’t think of a favourite, it usually depends on what I’m in the mood for.
