Morten Andersen, Co-founder and Managing Editor of barsforKings Co-founder

Morten Andersen

Co-founder & Managing Editor

Lives in Spain, having previously been based in Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Ireland, and Las Vegas — a path that covers both the world's best pubs and its most theatrical cocktail rooms. Has an uncompromising eye for service quality and a real affection for champagne bars and rooftop terraces. European coverage is the most personally vetted content on the site: if a bar in Barcelona, London or Dublin makes the guide, Morten has sat there long enough to form a real opinion.
