The people behind Freyja – Konstantin

Say hello to Konstantin! Bartender at Freyja!

Who are you, and how did you end up at Freyja?

– I’m a 19-year-old guy living on Kungsholmen. I’ve just graduated Swedish upper high school and I enjoy working out, hanging out with friends, and having a good time. How I ended up at Freyja was through a press event I was working at.

There, I met Thimmy, who was handling drinks at the bar, and the plan was for me to assist him. After we were done, Thimmy reached out and asked if I wanted to join Freyja, giving me contact details for Jimmy.

I met with Jimmy, who shared the ambitions and future dreams for Freyja+Söder. I found the interview cool, and later, Jimmy texted me, ‘Are you in or are you out?’ to which I replied, ‘I’m in.’

How did you get into the industry?

– I started working at Paradiso, a bar on Mariatorget, when I was 17, so I’ve been at it for a while despite my young age.

I enjoyed it a lot, but it became a bit slow to continue at the same place, so this offer from Thimmy and then Jimmy came at the perfect time.

Tell us something funny that happened during service at Freyja+Söder!

– *Laughs* Some guys came up to me and said, ‘We’re doing an interview with you,’ some sort of TikTok interview about what I thought about hockey guys.

It was pretty weird; I never found the clip later on TikTok, so it was quite strange. Otherwise, I’ve had a pretty smooth time here at Freyja.

Nice! If you came here on your own time, what would you eat and drink, and who would you bring?

– I’d bring my guys, the boys. We’d order a variety of dishes, but for myself, I’d have the grilled pluma. For drinks I’d order a sunny beach on the side, and the guys can order whatever they want.

Thanks, Konstantin!
